Rune,
 
I have a pigeon lofts close to my hives. On one or two occasions, when
the pigeons were returning from flight, the bees perceived them as a
threat and attacked, following them into the coop.  They stung them about
the eyes and several died. Interestingly, they attacked the darker
colored pigeons and spared the whites.  You might consider getting a
white cat.  It may be less visible to bees.
