Not enough difference to worry about! Just less trash to look through with
guts only.
The prep method that I'm currently using involves squashing the drained bees
in a ziplock bag with a
round qt jar, then adding 1 ml water per bee and mushing bag with my
fingers. Then view a drop. No clean
up, and pretty clean samples.
