My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Crab spider (?) killed 2 bees

16 years ago

I have a deck with a bunch of container plants. Yesterday I noticed a white spider dragging around an already dead bee in the plant. I came home tonight & that spider killed another bee (I saw the other dead bee). After a bit of research, I'm pretty sure it's a crab spider. I HATE killing anything but I know there is a bee crisis so I'm really thinking about killing this spider, or at least relocating it. (Yea, I know 1 spider probably doesn't make a difference) How many bees will this 1 spider kill? It's really bothering me that it killed 2 bees.

Sorry for rambling.

Kim
