Bees!
But seriously, what the f-k were they doing with the bees? They clearly have no idea how to handle them. the Beekeepers must've been pissed, I hear they're very protective of their bees.
I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure no manufacturer gets their honey from flippin' beehives themselves! They'd just probably buy a tub from the supermarket! Also, the soap was pretty stupid. the only cleaning product in existence that gets you dirtier! Brilliant! |

Yes, I did think they were likely to irritate the bees the way they were going on.

I couldn't understand why they didn't actually encase the honeycomb in the soap - you could then see the honeycomb in the middle but it'd still be a functioning bar of soap - odd

They should have smoked them to make them sleepy and then gently brushed any on the comb back into the hive.
It's highly possible that the beekeeper got the honey for them though, and what they did was just for the cameras. |

Yes, but I also doubt very much if they send 3 people down to dress up in protection gear to flap around ineffectually while the beekeeper gets the honey, either!
Don't you think a manufacturer like Lush would have their own honey suppliers? ie Beekepers? |

So ![]() I agree Lush won't buy it at the supermarket, they no doubt have buyers who deal with a variety of suppliers and will make decisions on costs, quality etc. One person may at some point visit potential suppliers and go and look at the honey at source as part of the visit - though it's unlikely they'll look at it and say 'yes I'll take 6 hundred combs' there and then! However, what was being depicted here was that three people out of a team of 6 went personally to look at the honey in order to buy it for their products, which was clearly unncecessary and staged. |

Yes, you were suggesting that, in the context of the previous post, though it may not be what you meant.

Don't be so silly. That may have been what you thought but to be so arrogant as to say that what was what I was suggesting is pretty darn pathetic. I don't need your imaginary version of how you think Lush operates either. |

The beekeeper that they used is the one who supplies honey to Lush.

I just had a lok at the LUSH website: and guess what is on their home page> A bar of soap with the honeycomb inside it. so maybe they couldn't do it again. There is also a video clip of the staff who were involved in the production and it makes interesting listening although its a bit long. |
