An observation. The bees do not stay at the place where pollination is 
carried out but return to the same place where they started. It is a 
round trip. So they are still "acclimatized" to the place they spend 
most of their time.

Plus, wouldn't a set routine- Florida-Maine -NJ etc- also "acclimatize" 
the bees to that sequence of floral nectar sources?

But rethinking this, maybe it is the visits to New Jersey that is doing it.
