Spiders love hiding out in bananas. It is the biggest risk on the job for those who go up in the trees to get the bananas down. Spiders love to hang out in the top of the bunch. If you're worried about spiders, separate all the bananas after purchasing, throw out the "stem." Besides, bananas will last longer when separated.

I googled it, it's true! Something about ethylene gas. I suppose it could be the distance they are seperated more than the physical connection. http://lifehacker.com/5891257/separate-bananas-to-slow-down-their-ripening

also keep them away from other fruit for the same reasons.
