It often does - however the reverse can be said for folks who see other
creatures are merely being there for the taking/use.  I am always amazed
when people want to kill something simply because it is there.  More
than likely that lizard is killing far more non-bees than bees.

Good luck - lizards do not have a huge caloric need - and will not feed
constantly or consistantly.  OF course spending some days watching the
front of one's hive can be very relaxing - I relish what time I have to
do so.

I have lizards on most of my hives - and while I have ocasionally seen
them consume non-bees, I have not noticed them to take any of my gals -
not saying it isn't possible, just not a problem.

Likely very little - even if the animals were feeding solely on bees
(which would be odd) their metabolic rate is such that they really
consume very little by way of foodstuff - one of the upsides to being
poikilothermic.
