Best Answer

Bee-eater As the name suggests, bee-eaters predominantly eat flying insects, especially bees and wasps, which are caught in the air by sallies from an open perch[1] While they will pursue any type of flying insect, honey bees predominate in their diet. Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps) comprise from 20% to 96% of all insects eaten, with honey bees comprising approximately one-third of the Hymenoptera"[2].

Bumble bees eat pollen and nectar. Animals that prey on the bumble bee are birds, bears, and certain insects such as wasps and robber flies. Additionally, badgers, skunks and field mice attack bumble bee nests for food.
