Hi Matthew:
I’d imagine you remember or have read about the bees sent into space back
in the 1980's. This is from one of Eva Crane’s books:

“Reactions of 3400 A. mellifera workers, with a queen, to zero gravity were
tested during 7 days on a NASA shuttle mission (Vandenberg et al., 1985).
The bees flew within a small flight chamber, constructed 200 square cm of
comb, and stored sugar syrup within it; mortality was low. The queen laid
about 35 eggs, but these did not survive transfer to a hive on their return
to earth. The geometry of the comb built in space was nearly normal.”

Vandenberg, J.D. & 4 others (1985) Survival, behaviour and comb
construction by honey bees, Apis mellifera, in zero gravity aboard NASA
Shuttle Mission STS-13. Apidologie 16(4): 369-383
