Now I am going to ask you if the first pic and the first of these last 4 pics are the same bee, lol, I know how they can get muddled after so long. I often take pics of two different bees on the same flowers, but they are more obvious.

Before I looked at the last three pics I placed one of mine alongside your first one of the last lot, and came to the conclusion that it was not A. haemorrhoa. Colour aside, the abdomen doesn't have the rounded shape, and I took 11 pics of mine, all have the wings well crossed over the back no matter what it was doing (except in flight which I got too!). This is often an indication.

Then I looked at your last 3 pics, and yes I would agree those 3 are A. haemorrhoa.

Here's a not so good one more face on to compare with your face on pic.
