Hi all

I see a good many dragonflies darting about in my apiary. I have not seen a
bee caught, but I do expect it happens otherwise the dragonflies would not
put in the effort.

This is one of natures subtle control mechanisms...
Diseased or parasitised bees are more likely to be caught. This is to the
benefit of the bees as well as food for the dragonflies.

The stronger and fitter dragonflies will be more succesful and that is of
benefit to the dragonflies.
