That is the strangest thing I've ever seen a spider do. I've watched them catch and eat butterflies and such in webs but never seen one cart off a whole bee.

Nice shot! It always amazes me that such small spiders can take down bees that could sting them.

Amazing, just gettin this opportunity to find a spider "carrying" a bee has to be pure luck. Not something you see everyday.
