>>>   So is it theoretically possible that the bees are reacting to the change in the gravitational vector?  Yes.  
Is it likely given the masses and the sensitivities that would be required?  I don't think so, no.

Thanks Mike,
I appreciate the diligence which you have applied to the subject.  I always keep in mind though that the more we learn, the more we find out what we don't know.


I can remember back about 40 years ago when we thought the queens mated with only four or so drones on her (one?) mating flight.  At least that was what I was taught.  Now we know so much more.

It has just changed in the last few months and I think the cycle is 11 
years or so like with the sunspot cycle.
