What's the size of these flowers? It might help to determine the species. From visual evidence these are not the same species. Exoneura sp. is in there. Check out previous sightings and notice how T.carbonaria have white/grey hairs over their faces.

Mike, I have changed a couple of images to clarify. These bees are 4.5mm, have white/ grey faces and characteristic thorax and pollen basket of T. carbonaria.

I'll leave it to Kim Pullen to confirm!

Agree T. carbonaria for images 1-3. Can't be sure about 4.
