My memory of the research is that it came out of Russia, and the 'short
take' that I took away from it was that the vibration of a running truck
engine would effectively calm a hive down, but it had something like a
20 minute onset. That is, if you load and drive a truck with bees for
more than 20 minutes, then unload, they would still be relatively calm.
I can't remember the specifics.
