While some people dislike insects intensely, many others find them fascinating because they can give us lots of enjoyment — both through their beauty and through behaviors that give us something to learn about. (We do want to keep some of them at bay, however, and I strongly recommend using insect repellants and mosquito dunk in containers with rainwater.) Dragonflies perch and fly with their wings spread out horizontally, while damselflies keep their wings mostly folded up over their back when they are resting. The Orange County Beekeepers Association has a wealth of information about beekeeping for those who want to learn more. The NC State Extension Service also provides information about beekeeping and links to other apiculture resources.
