CLOSED: I heard buzzzing around my head!!!

Bushland, TX(Zone 6a)

2 flying bugs a humming .Then I saw where they landed,so I walked over and looked,and guess what I saw,some type of dragon fly pinned a honey bee against the bamboo pole,and not a buzz from either one as quiet as a mouse!!!!
I'll go back check later to see what happened!!

What you have witnessed is typical robber fly (Diptera: Asilidae) behavior; it ambushed a prey item (the bee) that ventured to close. See your earlier post and http://tinyurl.com/l8x3ho

See them all the time never knew what they were or what they hunted!!!!
