Interesting you should note dragonfly activity near your hives. Dragonflies
tend to appear in the landscape all at the same time and in huge numbers
around here - north of Ottawa. For the first time, I saw some lurking
around my hives on the weekend, apparently trying to ambush the bees, though
I didn't actually see any captures. - been a dry summer too, much fewer
mosquitoes etc....than usual - maybe the dflies are getting desperate....
