jen............
depends on your neighbors and how many nucs you want in your backyard?!..............
when i make a nuc it gets moved at least 3 miles in wisconsin (other generous landowners paid with honey), or because i have a place in wisconnie and a place in mn, the bees sometimes get moved from wisconnie to mn. until they build up and are strong enough to put in a 10 deep. i do so because i have bigger hives in wisconsin. i don't want to lose the nuc cuz the bigger or well established hives tend to cause havoc on my nucs. some of your beek friends might not have this challenge.
you can place them in your yard, they will reorient, but just thoughts, if moved to your place for a minimum of 3 days and move back ~ moving bees does set them back. i think i would be inclined to give them a little more time than 3 days, that's just me. we all have challenges to deal with. we do the best we can. nucs are so young that i like to see them build up and be able to defend themselves, and keep an eye on the queen. again that's just me and what i was taught. not saying it won't work. just my thoughts jen and not trying to discourage you.
good luck, keep us posted! and good on you for helping other beeks out!
