    So this spider just sit around all day waiting for lunch to come to him, while this bee working his ass off putting bread on the table for his hive.

      I mean the spider is fattening up so she can produce eggs and spend 1 month without eating just protecting her eggs.

    excellent video. i found after seeking info on a yellow spider who eats bees, because I saw one on my multi-headed sunflower who had captured a bumble bee. I took lovely photos, but didn't know what it was.

      No, just yellow and white. The spider is white and produces a yellow pigment to disguise it against yellow flowers. It can't change to other colours.

    Even when pollinating flowers the honeybees are never safe from predators. This is a perfect example of a dnagerous arachnid threat that lurks on the flowers just waiting to strike.

      I guess it depends on where you live and a little bit of luck. I have read about crab spiders and seen them in documentaries but have only ever seen one in my entire life. And that was on a daisy in my backyard in South Australia some time during the 1990s or early 2000s. I managed to record it on super 8 movie film. I also saw it catch an insect meal but didn't get that particular moment on film.

      I used a canon rebel t3i with a 300mm lens and macro-tube. This is in North America, I've never filmed European wildlife (aside from birds from the airport) so I cant help you there. If your crab spiders are similar, look for a bunch of bugs hanging from the bottom of flowers in silk.

    Spider needs to move more slowly. Get closer to the bee first by moving slowly, and then strike.

      Far be it from me to police spiders 🕷! I was merely expressing that my sympathy was with the 🐝.
      I will take you at your word that you won’t get angry and say we have different world 🌎 views. I believe we are made in the image of God which gives each of us great worth. However, we have a great responsibility to take care of the rest of creation. I’m so embarrassed 😳 and ashamed that through ignorance and indifference many of us who should know better destroy rather than preserve. 😬
