Great photos EM, never thought of a bee having a natural enemy. It is a tough life out there in bugland.

Yes spiders would be their big enemy but of course there is also those birds that eat Bees.

Well the Spider was busy subduing the Bee and wasn't moving so it was easy to get in and get a good shot. Here's another of flies on the Bee carcass

Incredible shots, especially #2. I really enjoy unusual shots like these that involve skill as well as luck and timing. Very impressive.
