birds and bees as a general rule don't go together but the squab (pigeon) is closely related to the dove and neither eat a lot of bugs.
Pigeons usually are kept in a coop, so unless your pigeon house has flowers blooming in it, bees will tend to stay away, wasps on the other hand will likely see it as a good place to build a nest.
Hawks tend to grab more pigeons than owls will and unless you have a "safe haven" for the pigeons to roost in, the hawks will see them as fair game and an easy meal when they are out foraging.
This doesn't mean the hawks will get everyone of the pigeons, but they could make a fair dent in your flock.
That is why most pigeon keepers have their birds indoors most of the time.
