There are many insect eating birds which will stay around beehives and consume dozens of bees a day. Skunks or opossums will scrape on the entrance of the hive and eat the bees that emerge to defend the hive. Bears are notorious for overturning hives for the honey. In late summer, yellow jackets capture returning bees and bite their abdomen for their honey.
