The bees may be Asian honey bees, Apis cerana – see https://entnemdept.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/misc/bees/Apis_cerana.htm

The wasp is in the family Vespidae; it looks like something in the subfamily Eumeninae - Potter and Mason Wasps. These are solitary, and not aggressive towards humans (they do not defend their nests).

The last insect is a leaf-footed bug (family Coreidae).

Thanks! The bees seem peaceful- can they cause any harm?

Not harmful, unless you consider being stung...
