Spider vs Honey bee

For a while there I thought the spider was winning, but the bee got away.
It's hard to see in the photos, but the bee was putting on a pretty good fight.

This is the first documentation I have seen of a male orbweaver catching prey. They are damned small! Well done!

Thanks everyone! I doubt the little guy has fangs that could do the job or enough venom if he did. Does anyone know?
Douglass? Prof. Adams perhaps?

What a great series of photos. What an epic battle of little against big. Well done and thanks for sharing this one.
I don't know which to congratulate, the spider for making the catch or the bee for his tenacity to get away. I wish I could have seen this one in person.
