Hi. I observed this very large bee flying recently. The next day I observed a dead bee on my driveway and something in my skimmer. Can you identify these insects and let me know if they are the same?

The dead "bee" actually is a wasp in the family Sphecidae known as a cicada killer.They are not at all aggressive towards humans - see https://nysipm.cornell.edu/whats-bugging-you/stinging-insects/cicada-killer/
The other insect is a very dead cricket that has lost most of its appendages.
