thanks, I am pretty sure my spider was harmless. when i set the outer cover to the side to inspect it scampered away.

On Sunday I inspected my hive and everything looked great. I saw a spider in one corner of the outer cover and it was on its web. I was just wondering: do spiders do anything to bees?
