Second, two different furrow bees feeding on thistles.

They can be hard to ID, but I think the first one with the grey abdomen stripes is a giant furrow bee (Halictus quadricinctus; 🇩🇪 Vierbindige Furchenbiene), while the second, more golden one is a great banded furrow bee (Halictus scabiosae; 🇩🇪 Gelbbindige Furchenbiene).
