Do Bees Eat Spiders?

I searched this question because I have a lot of spiders on my balcony, and recently I have been seeing a lot of bees too. Last week I was hoping to see a bee get caught in a spider web because I hate bees. The exact opposite has been happening though. The bees are attacking the spiders and, for the ones that are small enough, they carry them away. Sometimes the spiders are too big to carry away, so they just fall while fighting.
I know this doesn't answer your question about whether they EAT the spiders or not... But I was extremely surprised to watch a bee even attack a spider. I just watched another bee try to carry away a huge spider.
I live in toronto, canada, and I'm actually wondering whether these bees migrated from somewhere else, because everyone I tell this to is shocked.
I can't see insects hunting for sport!

Wow - I live in Toronto as well and I've seen the same thing happening on my balcony. There are tons of spiders - I've never seen as many spiders in one window before - and in the past two weeks I've started to see bees grabbing the spiders. Really strange!

I have seen bees get devoured by spiders, but if the bee is large enough, it will carry away the spider to shove into a honeycomb where a bee larva is curled up, so that when it awakens it eats the spider to help it grow. 

Yes, Bees do eat Spiders.  I watched a bee today attack 2 different spiders and watched him as he ate one of them.  First time I saw a bee attack a spider and I was amazed.  I live in Port Orchard Washington.

Great, so I'm not crazy after all...I've seen, a few times lately, a bee deliberately attacking spiders, and knocking them from their webs. He didn't appear to sting them, or attack them once they'd fallen, he just kept ramming them until they fell, then he'd move along to the next one, and so on. You could tell he was hunting for them, the way he would go from web to web, and if there wasn't a spider in the web, he would hit the web, then hover for a second, I guess to see if a spider would come out. I've never seen a bee act this way before, it was so weird!

Bees do not eat spiders, bees eat nectar and pollen.  Wasps eat spiders and look similar to bees.
