I was wondering the same thing the other day when I saw about 20 of each in what appeared to be a "swarm". They flew around together in circles and I thought that the swallows were trying to eat the dragonflies but they weren't. I've never seen anything like it in my life. My son and I watched them for about 1/2 an hour while we were on a bike ride. We had to get home and they were still circling as we left. The dragonflies were very large too so I would have heard a crunching if they were being eaten.

Not usually, but it's not unknown for them to do so. Foraging bees are usually safe because they fly too low for the swallows. Most at danger are new queens and drones on mating flights because they fly higher.

answer

I`m sorry Mike but I`ve watched robber bees fly back to their hives at 20-30 feet up and the swallows here skim the ground at 8-18 inches off the ground . And if foraging off flowering trees , locust , bass wood , pear , those are taller trees .

The short answer is "yes". Depending on the number of birds/nests you have nearby and the number of bees (in hives or otherwise), the impact may be negligble or it may be a real issue. Preferred food supplies vary during the season. Of special concern to bee keepers, note that drones and queens on their mating flight are subject to being picked off - and this can have a huge impact on the future of an apiary sitting nearby.
