When observing a swarming mass of bees gathering on an object, do the bees circle clockwise or counterclockwise if you are looking down from the sky? Does it matter if you are located north or south of the equator?

Most of what I have seen with swarms is totally random, some going each way.

That is the reason that you don't find bees on the North OR South Poles....they can't figure out which way to circle.

It will be exactly opposite from if you are looking up from the ground.

It's pretty random, but if I were picking I'd say sunwise... er... clockwise. smile.gif
