Lizards, I concur, don’t seem to bother my bees to such an extent that they call attention to their presence. Annoying, yes, they could be at times. I have at least four, possibly more, around my home apiary and I put up with them. Although I have never seen one eating my bees, I liked to think that they remove dead bees around the entrance with occasional drone-dinner perhaps, the ones that catch themselves in the grass. But I have not seen one eating bees although I observed them carefully to check just that. However, respecting your wish to rid of them, I can share an anecdote. In my rickety bee-shed, behind my home apiary, I noticed a field mouse the other day and to kill it, I ran back home and got one of my several black cats: they are all mousers, one female cat, now with her litter, being particularly good at the task. Though I have never trained her, she seems to know her job whenever I carry her in my arm over to the shed, for she had caught a good number there. This time she listened attentively to the rustle coming from under the pile of fallen leaves and caught a fat lizard, a T-bone stake. Princess Cloy, my girls knighted her, sometimes eats baby snakes, too. That I use porous railroad ties under the bottom boards appears to help lizards harbor around my apiary, for they have established their habitat along the cracks. Sometimes their leaf- crunching sound makes me wonder if I am surrounded by snakes, not that there are that many snakes on my property.
