Default What would eat or carry off a bumblebee nest?

The nest was in an old 2lb coffee can out next to the garden. I saw
the bees and pushed it out in the open to deal with later. A few days
later I noticed it was gone. The can was 98% empty. What the heck
could do that? I have never seen a bee nest disappear, although I know
mice will chew on them.

Skunks
They also eat honeybees and will tear into a ground nest of yellow
jackets for a feast and they are immune to toad venom.
