Jumping spiders are really cute and really smart. Every one of my beehives has at least one jumping spider somewhere in or near it (typically between the lid and the inner cover, in the case of my Langstroth hives and my Langstroth to top-bar hive conversions, whereas in my from-scratch top-bar hives they typically hang out on top of the top bars). We stare at each other. Sometimes I'll flick one off its spot on an inner cover, possibly sending it very far, but no matter, they always find their way back.
