Well, you know how they say — beauty is in the eye of the beholder... but the rest of the party is in its stomach.

The "black cover" 2E Monster Manual (TSR 2140B) has a large section on beholders and beholder-kin. In which the plural is passingly referenced as a "cluster of beholders".
Yup. See the previous page.

A "float of beholders" also sounds pretty good to me. Old Monster Manuals assert that "sphere of many eyes" and "eye tyrant" are (supposedly) more common names for these monsters than "beholder", although 2E later defined "eye tyrant" as a specific subspecies. So maybe a "globe of beholders". Or even an "orbit of beholders" (if you like double-entendres).
A cluster of Beholders, interesting.
Aa' lasser en`coialle n`natula brown.

Yeah I had searched out the old Dragon article nothing there.
I do remember hive being used maybe it was in the BG games. Cluster is another good catch I would have never found.
My favorite so far has to be:

A tyranny of beholders?
But I prefer using it as a tyranny of eye tyrants. Think I am going to run with it next time the occasion arises.
The party come to a town befallen by hysteria
Rogue: So what's in the general store? DM: What are you looking for? Rogue: Whatevers in the store. DM: Like what? Rogue: Everything. DM: There is a lot of stuff. Rogue: Is there a cart outside? DM: (rolls) Yes. Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good.
A Bunch of Beholders
