I was watching the hive today when I noticed a dragonfly was doing the same from a nearby rock. A few minutes later, the same dragonfly landed on the side of the hive, right by the entrance and was watching the bees enter. I think I mumbled something such as "Don't touch my bees dragonfly!" before it flew away.
My question is, has anyone had any trouble with dragonflies eating bees? I didn't see this happen, but it looked suspicious. And if one does it, I have about 30 or so dragonflies that hang around my house so I'm afraid the bee casualties would be high if they took a liking to bee taste.
Thanks for your input. :)
