In the information describing making one's own wax foundation, release
agents
on the boards such as detergent are mentioned.  Is there a rinsing
process needed
after the sheets are made?  I would think that detergent or soap would
be toxic
to the bees.  Do these chemicals rinse off easily and cleanly?
