> I would like to ask all what is known about the honeybees awareness of gravitation, gravitational waves and magnetism?
I have been digging into that, too. There are several invisible forces which may act upon organisms which are isolated from light, including gravity, magnetic fields and cosmic radiation. Consider the following re: lunarity (or is it lunacy?)
> Honey bees entering and leaving their hive were registered with photoelectrical counters. By using this method it was possible to measure flight activity cycles of high and low levels. Considering the effect of reproduction and mortality rates, the observed rhythm of activity could be attributed to the phases of the moon.
