Has anyone split a yard in half, taken one half of the hives for rides (commensurate with the length of travel involved in migratory trips) and returned the hives to the same yard and then compared the two halves in respect to all the problems our beehives have been undergoing?  In other words, has a study been undertaken to study what affects the migratory movement process itself has on bees?
