I'm not a particularly enthusiastic proponent for small cell, but haven't I read earlier in some postings that to get from LC to SC about two intermediary stages need to be gone through before the bees can adapt to SC?  Might try running from large cell to small cell through two intermediate, downsizing cell foundations to see what happens.
