    This young lady is one multi talented woman as well as a wonderful person. I have never met Selena but her personality shines through her eyes and her voice. She’s a gentle careing hard working soul.

    Goggles are a MUST! Please, please have her wear goggles. Lye can blind you.

      I am a retired science teacher. Please use goggles when making soap. Lye can destroy your eyes.

      And a respirator too. Otherwise a great video.

      I boil frames in lye and I learned the value of goggles the hard way.

    Such a great presentation! This is a great time of year for making products like this. I particularly like the step-by-step presentation of ingredients and portions. Wishing you all the best as 2024 really gets going. :)

    That’s a substantial investment to make soap. Anyone who complains about the price, have them watch this video. Great job.

    Great job Syleena.
    Brought back memories of making detergent bars at Unilever, 30 years ago. Lye was called "Caustic Soda" and we used rubber gloves and googles, while handling it.

    Syleena, I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet you , Bob and several others from the Blue Ridge Honey Co. team at NAHBE this year. I enjoyed the Co.'s beautiful booth (especially the soaps) so much, and didn't leave the expo without quite a few purchases made from it.
    This video is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!

    She does a wonderful job teaching her soap making. Thanks for such a detailed video. I also make some for personal use but always wear safety goggles when making and pouring the lye. My friend who was a professional soap maker nearly lost her sight when lye splashed up and got in her eye.

  • @GeorgeCMcRae
    @GeorgeCMcRae Před 7 měsíci +2

    Looked to me that the hardest part of the process was lining the boxes! I'm a soap maker (beekeeper too) and thoroughly enjoyed the video. Complete and detailed. Well done! Oh!! BTW, I use a stand mixer and the mixing is slower, yes, but when I have used a stick blender like you the tracing can get ahead of me pretty quickly. That's just me.

    Great video Selena! Why don't you add honey to soap? Also, that mixer would be best if hanging from the ceiling on a spring. I've seen it in another video and thought it would save on any shoulder strain.

    Wonderful presentation Selena! I’ve always been a bit gun shy to work with lye but now I want to make a batch of soap. You do a great job of instructing.👍🏻 Hey Bob, how about having Selena give a soap making class at NAHBE next year as well as your gal with candle making? A lot of beekeepers could benefit from “in person” demonstrations.

      @@bobbinnie9872 My husband’s most favorite soap is one that had only about 1/3 of Frankincense, the rest being a different color and either no or very mild sense. Been looking for it again ever since. I’ll be ordering your soap to see if that will work for him. Thanks again! You’ve given me what I needed to try soap myself. And thanks again for visiting the Va State Beekeepers annual convention last year! Sue

    This was interesting and educational. Seems to be on par and us learning more every Sunday morning. We make our own soap. Although we have never done it using Beeswax ............................................................................ YET! So definitely something that we might explore this Spring and soapmaking. So far Lemongrass had been our favorite. Then so MANY options that we will be trying. As always thank You for another informative learning fun video!

    Another interesting Video, My wife is wanting to have a go at soap making ...
    I am in New Zealand
    I have a question about transporting Hives on a trailer....(I should have asked around a month ago when You were loading a trailer with hives.)
    Do you always face the hives front to back or is it ok to have them sideways??
    The reason is the trailer I use is 1200mm wide and 2000mm long, ( Around 6 foot x 4 foot) or 2.9 hives wide and 3.7 long
    the 0.9 and 0.7 are unusable space!
    If the hives travel sideways I could fit 10 hives on a load.
    The journey is around 5 hours.
    I would be interested in your thoughts.

    • @bobbinnie9872
      @bobbinnie9872  Před 7 měsíci

When you said you wash it off, do you just do that in the sink? I guess it is just soap, but I can't get over the oil and wax in the drain. The lye must break the oils down? Thanks for sharing!

      Good question. All of the soap eventually ends up going down the drain so I would think it’s ok
