How long does one have to leave a hive in place before it can be moved to a new location.

Are you wondering if you can move a new package just installed? If that is the case I would wait until you have open and capped brood. That way they have a reason to stay if they don't like being moved around.

If you are asking when a split can be moved back to its original location, that's two weeks.

I can't think of any other circumstances when it would matter. You could move the next day if you would like.
