The distances are actually being revised. Up to recently, it was thought that a worker will fly up to about 3 miles, but it turns out that she'll travel as far as it takes - GPS tracking shows they travel up to 13km. Similarly, Queens are thought to travel up to 5 miles, but that's being revisited. And it's thought that drones fly around 3km to the DCA.
