I use the same methods as the Lusby's. No rinsing is needed. When I choose
a dish detergent I look for ones that are biodegrageable such as the brand
Joy. I have never found that the release agent hurts the bees in any way. I
use a squirt of dish detergent in about a 1/2 gallon of water, a little goes
along way. Much of this is absorbed by the paper that seperates the sheets
of foundation when stacked.
