I sometimes think about this issue since my apiaries are in areas with many flying insectivores.  Barn and tree swallows are the most populous, followed by flycatchers, eastern bluebirds, and many others.  I'm sure they eat some bees, but I don't see them around the colonies.  

I'm shifting my focus to the inevitable threat of yellow-legged hornets.
