I see no bee - both organisms have two wings only; both are hoverflies (Syrphidae) - the second (bee-like) one is, I think, one of the droneflies
Eristalis spp - [looks very much like a drone bee but only has two wings].
I won't go any further (I smell burning) and I'm sure you'll get more knowledgable advise on Dutch hoverflies than I can give ....
