Doubtful never seen it happen even when I've seen a carpet of dead bees inside.
This bloke called Newton discovered (during a lockdown like we're experiencing now apparently) a strange phenomenon which means that things usually keep on falling until they reack the floor (a few inches below the entrance slot :)
However, on a standard entrance it is very easy for dead bees to pile up in front of the entrance.

Yes, gravity is a surreal thing. When I speak to my step-son in Melbourne I always marvel that, while our respective feet are approx 12,000 miles apart, our heads are approx 12,000 miles plus 12 feet apart....
