Dragonflies generally capture insects on-the-fly. You may see dragonflies flying or waiting on a branch or cattail. When an unsuspecting insect comes flying along, they either launch toward the pray, or swoop in from above. This happens very fast. Dragonflies capture an insect by forming a sort of net with its legs. As they approach, they net the insect by coming in faster than the insect is flying, they fly very slightly higher than the insect, thus allowing the insect to slip into the net formed by its legs. They then eat the insect alive. Now, I do not know for sure if dragonflies actually pursue bees specifically, but if they do, this is the method used.
