The first one is not close enough for me, and I may not know it anyhow.

The next are true cedar - Cedrus.

Probably a blue atlas cedar or deodar cedar. If the limbs are wispy and gracefully droop, then it's likely deodar. If a bit more upright with blue foliage then blue atlas cedar. There are also atlas cedar with just green needles.

The cones look a bit like little bee hive shapes.

Looks like Cedrus atlantica but it could also be Cedrus libani which I've seen a few rare ones around. The needles on the first are and inch or less, the second are over an inch. Deodar doesn't have that blueish colour here.

Sounds like maybe blue atlas cedar. It isn't anything native to our area. The trees next door baffle my DH who has worked in the forest for years. There is something different about all the evergreens over there. The bark and needles don't match up to our native trees. Where is the Blue Atlas Cedar from?

Oh, and the cones are a hive shape...they are so cool!
