Constantly visiting the holes in the hose reel cover
Very poor photos, was just excited to see a different species present. Approx 1-1.5cm long.
Spotted these bees visiting a “bee motel” set up in my backyard - am assuming they are an Australian native bee of some description
~12mm long

Photo's are full screen. Some look very similar, but are attempts to focus on different diagnostic features.
specialist on Persoonia; here one of many bees systematically scraping flowers of Persoonia linearis
I first thought this one next to the Lasioglossum peraustrale might be a wasp but now I think it is a bee. The antennae remind me of Euryglossa ephippiata males.
Aboout 5-6mm, I am having difficulty seeing the veins on the wings of this bee and although the tongue can be seen, I am having difficulty placing this bee.
Large eyes, one photo shows bubbling
