I realize this is so simple it's silly, but how about an airtight tin
and silica crystals, just like some of us use for drying botanical
material? (Great for high-quality herbarium mounts, dried flowers, etc.)
If you're the impatient sort, carefully bury the material (bees, in this
case) in silica crystals in a glass container, and zap in the microwave
for 30 seconds. Voila, instant drying!
One caution: do not over-dry materials, as removing too much moisture
causes extreme brittleness. (Yes, this is the voice of experience.)
