Japanese "harlot spiders" are colonizing the US.
I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW ARACHNID MISTRESSES!

Your bees had better leave their six-foot-diameter webs alone.
@mcfate spiders get into the hives all the time. Strong colonies will drive them out, but the webs cause mayhem with bee's communication systems which are largely vibration based (as well as visual and pheromones). I'll check in and around my hives and report back!
Jōrō spiders don't "get into" anything at all. They stay on their gigantic webs.
For that matter, a three-inch-spider with four or five inch legs is going to be hard pressed to "get into" a bee hive.
I can assure you right now that no harlot spiders have "gotten into" any beehives. That's not how they operate.
@mcfate I'm not seeing anything I missed, certainly not on purpose. It's possible that my filters removed something if the T word was in it
It wasn't. You got faced with a question you couldn't answer, and you were hoping that a change of subject might get me to completely forget that I left you with some unanswered questions.
Didn't work.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@mcfate then hit me again - I'm game this fine Monday morning - let's go!
Why don't you simply scroll down your notifications rather than expecting I'm going to retype an entire conversation to spare you making an effort?
Just so we're clear, I'm quite content to leave things at "You can't make your position seem at all coherent."
If you want to change my view, that's on you. I've got better things to do than remind you of what you studiously ignored.
@mcfate yowsers, scrolling...
@bfgreen
Only as odd as your blowing off the original question when you were unable to respond.
I can wait.
