I am assuming that you only did it the once and got the same results as 
doing the larger circle twice.

Did you do any where you went back a second time with the 4 replicates and 
got different results?

As I read what you wrote, the bees cleaned out the smaller circles in the 24 
hours but took 48 to get the same results in the larger circle?  Is this 
correct?
