If you have the same spider it is the yellow garden spider young.
Here is more info about this spider -http://bugguide.net/node/view/7163

"near the end of fall, after they hatch, they get back inside the egg sac to protect themselves from winter"

As the spider hatch from the eggs they are in a group like that. They will spread out as they grow.
Cool stuff!
Thanks for sharing.
Same thing in London,uk

I came across the very same thing today. There must be about 200 all clumped up in bunches of
20 or so. They look like suspended frog spawn- as they are hanging stationary On a fine fine 3d web. I have never seen anything like this before.

If yours hatched this spring they are probably coming out of the egg sac that they had crawled back into last fall. Most certainly they will grow and be good bug catchers in your garden. :-)

Thank you so much for identifying our little baby spiders. We really don't know how they will be able to fit back into their egg sac. We assume they will grow a little bit between now and then.

Thanks again.

Since my first response did not go thru I will write it again.
Not sure what these baby spiders are. Spiders are not my specialty as an entomologist, they are arachnids and that is a specialty of it's own. Also, since they are so small and there are so many it looks like they have just hatched from an egg case. Since they are immature and so small it is hard to ID them. As they grow bigger and you have a close up photo perhaps we can tell better what they are.
Spiders are known for being good for the garden as they eat insects.
As long as you leave them alone they will not bother you.
Let us know if you see them when they are more mature.
Thanks

First to be honest...I am an entomologist not an arachnologist...therefore I do not know spiders very well...only the most common ones.
With these tiny spiders being in a cluster indicate they might have just emerged from an egg sac. In that case they are too small to identify well. If you see larger ones that look the same then perhaps we can id them better.
Sorry but I can not help you more.
Here is a web site from the Univ of CA that maybe of some help to you. Hope it helps.
