What insect eats honey bees?

We have been having a bee thief in the garden this month.  This insect will catch a bee in mid air and then hold it down on a branch to eat it. I am offering each child 25 cents for each bee killer they dispose of.

    Definitely a member of the Robber Fly family, not a European Hornet. Very possibly a Southern Bee Killer. I would love to have a couple of these to mount in my “Good Bee, Bad Bee” collection.
