That "angle" has nothing to do with gravity.

I may not have stated it correctly scientifically, but that is a
scientific fact.  The sun exerts a gravitational effect on the earth,
and it comes from the sun's position.  My hypothesis is that the bees
can detect the angle of the sun and it's apparent movement north and
south of the equator as perceived from here on earth, and that as the
sun's apparent position moves northward, the bees detect that and
initiate increased brood rearing.


Wonder what would happen if the bees were moved to Australia a day
before our winter solstice.  Would the bees increase brood rearing to
the degree that they would if they remained here in the northern
hemisphere?

That is a wrong statement. There is not such thing as direction of sun's

gravity.
