For the smaller bee
I'm assuming two different species as I don't think there would be this great dimorphism but I could be wrong

Update:
I found several of these at Cedar Bog again this year. The last one might be Hexatoma brevicornis, so if you have expertise, please D.

Note: I have photographed this Hexatomini at Cedar Bog in Champaign County, Ohio for at least 17 years. Always in the same area.
I've added two other observations; one from back in 2004.

My African Leopard Tortoise laid an egg today!
I bought her from a pet store in Austin, when she was a newly hatched tortoise. She was the size of my palm. I think she is 14 or 16 years old now. She is so big and heavy, I could barely pick her up.
She lays eggs every summer, usually after a good soaking rain, when the soil is wet enough.
She lives in my backyard. Leopard Tortoise is good digger, she escaped 3 times by digging a hole by the fence. I had put out reward in our neighborhood to get her back. Now she is bigger and I secured the fence in my backyard so she couldn't escape.
