This is more or less why Juanse is correct.  The bees will feel the 
gravity of the Earth, as do we all.  But an animal as small as a bee 
probably is just too small.  But more importantly here is the grater 
gravity of the moon as felt on Earth and that it varies its position in 
relation to the Earth and Sun continuously.  Marine creatures are 
affected by this gravity because of the effects of the tides.

Day length and or temperature would seem a better bet, they certainly 
work in stimulating other cycles.  But others have pointed out that it 
is hard to see how this can operate in a dungeon.
