How long is a typical mating flight? While I was watching a hive that swarmed a week ago a virgin came out onto the porch walked arround for a minute and flew off. She left about 1:30 pm.

Well, to answer my own question at least for this flight, she returned in three hours.

It depends on how far she flies... and that can vary a lot...
