This is AMAZING to watch. I have to tell you that I have learned a great deal by watching all of your videos. This will be my first year as a bee owner. I am so very excited! Thanks for posting all of this information =)
Thought I should let you know. I just visited your sight and I had three separate attempted trojan attacks before the page even finished loading. might want to get that looked at.
John, Everytime we pull up your website or blog spot, our anti virus says there is a threat connected toyour site.....would love to buy some wax from you...how do we contact you
that is what I love about your video's - no B.S. just the real stuff, slightly messy, but hey that's what happens in the real world. You just "Git - er - done". keep on posting John.
Thanks again for another great video. I would love to follow you around for a few days and learn some things. You have built my confidence so much to keep a few hives as a hobby.
I'm a hoarded from a long line of hoarders and I don't think this work room is THAT bad. I just think the reward of getting all organized is that it cuts down on SPIDERS!!! Spiders love cardboard boxes and clutter. That's why I have a lot of plastic boxes with my clutter inside.
Another thing: Do you sell on Etsy? Etsy is a site where you can only sell hand made things or vintage things. Each listing only costs a tiny amount of money and the listings stay up a long time. They charge a small pecentage after you sell an item. I never used to sell anything on Etsy but last year i started selling stuff. I sold a hand full of corsets and a piece of stained glass. It works because people need time to buy things. Etsy gives them the time to get the money.
You can load a bunch of them in the lasagna pans at once. The great thing about this is that it gets clutter off of the tables so you can use the tables. Another thing: Gussy up vintage shelves and save jars from the fridge for storage. I clean jars with Goo Gone to get the label off and use the dish washer to sterilize them. I have a shelf set jam packed with hardware in jars. Deters spiders-jars are see through-dust repellent-cheap-easy to replace. Or use bins from dollar store.
This video is great and very informative. I have a suggestion for cleaning up that room: Garbage pick some particle board entertainment centers, add corner braces and brackets to strengthen the shelves, cut out extra shelves from scrap wood, Add more shelves in the TV space with corner brackets. Buy tin lasagna pans from the dollar store and use the entertainment center for a cooling rack and storage unit for the molds. A normal shelf is not deep enough.
What a beautifully honest and interesting business you have. I just stumbled across your video as I have a lot of surplus wax from old candles I am going to melt down and use to turn into new ones. Thanks alot for the upload, I'll be sure to check out your site. All the best, Gary.
Your videos are excellent for me as a beginner. I'm very intersested in making some beeswax candles. They seem like perfect gifts for anyone. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Hey John, I just went to your website to buy wax from you and my anti-virus software tells me that your website is infected and that I shouldn't go to it. Bummer! I wanted to buy from you. Thanks for the awesome video.
I just started beekeeping this year. Only have two hive and didn't get that much wax from cappings maybe a half a pound. How much should I be getting?
I just went to your website---you need to check it out yourself b/c I can't see anything for sale on there except honey, propolis, bees and beehives. Also, it's in pretty bad shape---most of the pictures aren't visible. I'd hire a new website designer if I were you. It would help your business.
You might sell alot of wax. But I would never buy honey from you. That place is a mess. Call the health department. Lol. My dad is a beekeeper for over 40 yrs. I had to comment.
@johnpluta awesome! I'm a homeschooling mom and we've dabbled making a few candles for our own use and for presents for family...nothing fancy, I just use a crockpot to melt the wax...but WOW you sure give some GREAT tips, excellent for my kids to watch too.... we learn so much faster by watching!!!. THANKS SO MUCH for taking the time for this, just incredible!!! Love your accent! homeschooling mom in Canada
@johnpluta Really liked your video. A swarm of bees came into my sister's yard in Louisiana so she set them up in a hive. I didn't realize she can make candles out of the wax and that it can be used in cosmetics etc..
Hello from England! Thank you for this 'no frills' realistic video - succinct and to the point information! Have looked at other sites for the same info. and all way too fancy and fussy - this is real and what I wanted to know. Thanks for taking the time to share this from your experience. Excellent!
John - this video is GREAT! I see that you didn't filter out the raw beeswax -what's your take on that? That would be a HUGE time saver if I didn't have to cheese-cloth it, etc. Plus, what do you use to keep the hole closed at bottom of your molds? AND, what type of WICK do you use in this video?
Thanks! p.s. I LOVE your 20-yr old microwave - that made me laugh!
