<<<Jonathan, I suspect that your measuring spoon may not be all that accurate. You also suggest you are using ~1 ml per bee. I think the amount of water is extremely important if we are to compare results. How about checking the volume of water in your measuring spoon?>>>

I agree that the volume of water in each sample must be consistent. Try using a graduated cylinder and a small pipette. Over fill the cylinder and then use the pipet to remove water from the cylinder until the level in the cylinder is exactly what you want.
