Dear Bee Dryers:
   In a message last week I gave some tips on drying bees with CASCADE
dtergent, then EtOH, etc.  I am not sure what or how much I said about
rinsing the CASCADE  off the bees (water and a kitchen strainer) but this
is very important. Otherwise the hairs mat down from the detergent/gunk
mixture!  I suspect if someone tried it they already figured this out...
                                              Cheers, Jim Whitfield
