Home To More Than Just Bees

Wolf Spiders living in the inner cover of a beehive.
Beehives are often homes to other insects, spiders, and sometimes mice. A couple of wolf spiders took up residence in one of the hives we take care of on the roof of Chicago Cultural Center. They have a built in food supply of any honey bee that isn't quick enough to get out of the way. This area of the hive is above and separated from the main hive.
