My brother and I retrieved a swarm the other day.  I remember one
of the members of our local club saying that it is possible to move
a swarm farther than 3 feet, but less that 3 miles without having to
worry about losing bees, but he never said how long this effect lasted.
Has anyone heard of this?  If so, how long after you hive the swarm
can they be moved?
