Well, okay, I found out what this beetle is that's sucking the life out of my honey bees!
It's called the assassin bug or wheel bug. This information came to me via a phone call to Dr. Mike Merchant of Texas A&M University. And, since this is supposed to be a beneficial bug, I will leave him/her in the garden! I just wish it weren't my bees that were the current victims... :o(
