Do not have a straight answer.

When we place virgin queen we do not move the nucs till the queens mate.

On the other hand we have used AN twice when pollinating blueberries for
them to stop going to nearby apples and taking blueberries again.
The bees take some 2 to 3 days to go back to apples after spleeping them
with AN.

So I guess the answer is none.
After the bees wake up they start orienting inmediatly and for the whole
working force will take less than 3 days to be fully oriented.
