A method and a housing assembly ( 10 ) for farming members of the Phylum Arthropoda ( 12 ) to collect silk therefrom in a centralized location without the members exhibiting territoriality tendencies is disclosed. The housing assembly ( 10 ) includes a wall ( 22 ) defining a plurality of frames ( 24 ) in close proximity with one another and disposed about a work space ( 26 ). Each frame ( 24 ) presents an open frame space ( 28 ) having a predetermined area and the work space ( 26 ) has a foot print ( 30 ) of a predetermined area such that a ratio is established therebetween. The ratio of the predetermined area of the open frame space ( 28 ) to the predetermined area of the foot print ( 30 ) is at least 1:5. A roof ( 32 ) is supported by the wall ( 22 ) for covering the frames ( 24 ) and the work space ( 26 ) and has an eave ( 34 ) that extends perpendicularly beyond the wall ( 22 ) a predetermined distance to protect the frames ( 24 ).
