Our beeswax is harvested from the cappings bees use to seal honey in the comb. It is heated and filtered to remove impurities and ranges from white to golden in colour.
Our candles are all hand poured with 100% pure beeswax - nothing added. Beeswax candles burn cleaner and for a longer time than candles with oils and soft waxes added.
Candle Care: Trim wick to 1/4" before lighting and may need to be trimmed as it's lit (so, extinguish, trim and relight). To extinguish candle, use a metal tool to dunk the wick into the melted wax. Make sure you push the wick up for easy relighting. For even burning, ensure candle is on a level and sturdy surface, and no drafts in the room. Best if burnt for 4 hours at a time.
Burn Times
Taper, 6", 12-13 hours
3" pillars , 35-45 hours
4" pillars, 45-55 hour
