First of all, it would depend on the spider. There are several venomous spiders that can be fatal. The black widow is just one type.
There are killer bees. However, what makes them killer bees is that they are very aggressive, and they attack in swarms. You are rarely stung by just one killer bee.
So your answer is the spider.

Spider bite by far. It takes more than one Killer Bee to kill someone unless they have an allergy to bee stings...one spider bite depending on the type of spider and kill human tissue within hours and cause serious complications. I've heard of people having limbs amputated related to a spider bite...

Ewwww....I hate spiders.

Depends upon which species of Spider.

A bite from a Funnel Web or Brown recluse (Banana Spider) are really bad news, whereas a sting from a killer bee is recoverable within less time and without permanent damage.

One spider bite will be more deadly than one killer bee's. The trouble is the smell of a bee sting attracts the rest. In Australia bees kill more people than any other venomous creatures. Spiders, snakes, jelly fish, stone fish, blue ringed octopus etc etc etc.

So-called "killer bees" have just the same sting as normal honeybees. The reason thay are dangerous is their aggressivity, so when they attack, they do it in large numbers and persist for a long time. Each individual bee dies after stinging just like honeybees (its sting is corkscrew-shaped and gets stuck in the victim's skin so it basically disembowels itself when flying away).

However a single bee sting isn't life-threatening unless you are allergic to it. Some spiders however, can kill with one bite; their poison is much more toxic (the most poisonous is the Brasilian Hunstman).

So short answer to your question : spider bite.

Killer bees attack in a swarm, so you end up being stung hundreds or thousands of times depending on the number of bees. If your alergic to bee stings you can die from this attack.

A single spider bite can kill you will it's poison (depending on the specicies of spider.)

I think I'ld take my chances with the spider.

I say a Spider Bite because they could be fatal. Killer Bees could be easily driven away. You don't want to be Spiderman, don't you? Kidding :-P

Depends on the Spider.
But one killer bee can't kill you (some spiders can), unless you are allergic to bees.
Truthfully there is no such thing as a killer bee, it's media hype.

Depends which spider. If its a funnel web or black widow then the spider.
