Beeswax Candles

First year beekeeper with rooftop honey bees

One of a kind gifts from the amazing honeybee!

Once you light your first wick of a natural beeswax candle, you don’t go back. First of all the smell, these candles are not artificially scented, it is the smell of nature! Whether the candle is lit or not, the wax emits a very very subtle sweet aroma.

Honeybees produce wax from their body glands. They collect plant resigns and honey to produce beeswax. Bees use their wax to carefully construct beautiful hexagonal forms as a means to store honey, nectar, pollen, and to raise their young. After some time the wax has maximized its use to the bees and gets removed by the beekeeper. It goes through many processes of cleaning and filtration and is rendered into a solid form for its next use. Just like pure honey has different colors from one season to the next, wax also comes in varying shades of yellow to brown. This wax has many amazing uses in household products, cosmetics, woodworking, metal smithing, artists material and so much more.

Because I’m a beekeeper who holds honeybees and beeswax in high honor, quantity of product is limited season to season. I use my candles only for special occasions.
