Clockwise, from top left:
1. One of many fields of dandelions
2. Hoverfly (family Syrphidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion
3. Tiny bee (probably a sweat bee, family Halictidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion
4. Two ants (family Formicidae, species undetermined) on a dandelion

A field of grass with about a gazillion dandelions throughout, making it more yellow than green. There are a couple of lone trees in the field, and a line of shorter trees at the edge.Closeup of a stripey fly-- lengthwise stripes on the thorax, widthwise stripes on the abdomen-- perched on a dandelion flower.Another closeup of a dandelion flower, this one currently home to two ants.This final dandelion flower has a rather small bee seemingly cuddling its center.

*edit @Spaceways Suggested a Yellow-haired Sun Fly, Myathropa florea, the Batman hoverfly, and they have been identified in the region, and it really looks like one.
...

Some kind of drone fly I guess. Seems more yellow than most of the photos of the 'Common' one. It's on a chokecherry blossom.

Honey bees and apple blossoms. Saw a bumble bee too but it had no desire to stay on a blossom for more than a half second.

A photo showing a honey bee on an apple blossom. The bee is average to darker colored, the flower is white. The leaves are green. In full sun.A honey bee on an apple blossom in full sun. The bee is average to light colored. The flower has a tint of pink to it's whiteness.A honey bee on an apple blossom. The bee is dark colored. The flower is pretty much just white.A honey bee hanging from an apple blossom by one leg. The bee appeared to be stuck so I took it's photo.. then I gave it a nudge and it crawled on top of the flower. It is an average colored bee.. maybe a little light colored.

It is perched on the petal of a hibiscus, facing to the right, big (for its size) eyes and wing detail in view. The flower is white with red at the center, at the base of the petals near the style. White grains of pollen are scattered about, including several on the bee.Closeup of a small bee with shiny green head and thorax and a black-and-yellow-striped abdomen.

The bitter cold outside plus my phone's dying battery means I've been trolling through old pictures, looking for things I (probably) haven't posted yet, like this ailanthus moth (๐˜ˆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ข ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข) on New Jersey tea (๐˜Š๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ถ๐˜ด) from July of 2022:

Nachdem wir heute bereits eine Goldschwebfliege besucht haben, sind wir nun eine Pflanze ๐ŸŒธ weiter gezogen und treffen hier auf die

Kleine Keilfleckschwebfliege
(Eristalis arbustorum)

Sie wiederum ist in Mitteleuropa eine der hรคufigsten Schwebfliegenarten und auch in NRW verbreitet anzutreffen.

Am heutigen #Insektensamstag unternehmen wir einen Besuch bei den Schwebfliegen. Das Makro-Foto zeigt die

Gemeine Goldschwebfliege
(Ferdinandea cuprea)

welche zwar in NRW nachgewiesen ist, jedoch zu den eher seltener anzutreffenden Schwebfliegen zรคhlt. Viel hรคufiger und gleich in der Nachbarschaft findet sich
diese Schwebfliege.
