You would be stressed too if your home was moved during the night and you came out to find everything changed. You would have to learn new landmarks to find your way home, find food sources and water.

A backyard beekeeper will spend 35-40 hours a year checking and tending his hives. That armount of time increases according to the number of hives and if it's a business venture. And that's after the first season because of course you're going to spend more time checking them your first year in order to learn what's normal and what's not.
