Hello Shauna,
  I read this in a letter in the Bee Culture magazine. A beekeeper loaded his
hives up in the truck in the evening (dark) when most of the bees were back
from foraging. Then he drove around the countryside for a while,came back and
put the bees in their new location. He claimed it worked like a charm. He
figured the bees got disoriented with all the twists and turns and movement
of the truck.
  I'm a risk taker and like to try unconventional ideas. I would personally
try this if I had no alternative. The only thing I would add to it-be sure to
move landmarks with the hive and place them in the new location: rocks,
sticks,etc.
Good luck,
Denise
