Each taper is hand-dipped the old-fashioned way — slowly, layer by layer — using 100% pure American beeswax and a lead-free cotton wick. The result is a candle that burns cleaner, longer, and more beautifully than anything you'll find at a big-box store.
Beeswax is nature's premium candle wax: it burns with a warm, golden flame, releases a subtle natural honey scent, and actually purifies the air as it burns — minimal to no soot, toxin free, just healthy circadian friendly fire light.
Set the table. Light the tapers. Make the moment.
Why you'll love them:
- 100% pure beeswax — no paraffin, no additives, no compromise
- Hand-dipped in small batches in California
- Approx. 12 hours of burn time per candle
- Lead-free cotton wick for a clean, even burn
- Available in sets of 6, 12, or 18
Beeswax tapers are self-trimming. For best results, snuff out and keep away from drafts to minimize dripping.

Love the simple elegance. They
"Love the simple elegance. They burn perfectly. One of my many favorites."
Nice quality
"I really like them, just was a bit disappointed that they were so dark. In pictures they look much lighter color. However when burning they barely drip which is amazing. Here’s picture of candle that I purchased from the store and the busy bees ( darker) one."
"They were exactly as advertised! I love these candles so much."
The light but definite scent
"The light but definite scent of honey exuding from these candles is a constant reminder of the Lord's presence in His creation. Glad I discovered your work. Congratulations. Fr Papalia"
I am so excited to
"I am so excited to receive my order of tapers and tealights! When I opened the box of tapers I experienced a wonderful aroma of beeswax. Thank you so much for such a beautiful packaging of such a lovely product."
Wonderful and such beautiful candles!
"Wonderful and such beautiful candles! Shipping took longer than expected, but due to business growth, unexpected weather delays for shipment it was all communicated pretty well via email from the business themselves, which I appreciated."
Honestly remarkable candles!
"I’m not a review person, but I have to say I was blown away by the taper candles. We used them in our fireplace and they burned for SO LONG. I kept checking back for hours to see if they had burned out yet. No smoke, no smell, no dripping wax (the ones in the photo that look the most sturdy are the Busy Bee Candles). This is a truly amazing creation and I’m so appreciative. I saw a grouchy review on here about the delay and part of my order was delayed too, but the thoughtfulness and care put into this product far outweighs any growing pains the company is (deservedly) experiencing. Thank you for your beautiful candles!"

Q&A
FAQs
What are the benefits of using beeswax candles?
Beeswax candles are natural, non-toxic, and burn cleaner than other types of candles. They release negative ions that help purify the air, reduce allergens, and create a soothing ambiance. Beeswax candles also burn longer than paraffin or soy candles, making them a more sustainable option. Plus, they have a subtle, natural honey scent without the use of artificial fragrances or chemicals.
Are beeswax candles safe to use around children and pets?
Yes! Beeswax candles are a great choice for families with children or pets. Unlike paraffin candles, which can release harmful toxins when burned, beeswax candles burn cleanly without producing toxic fumes. They are free from artificial fragrances, dyes, and chemicals, making them a safe, natural option for your home.
How long do beeswax candles last?
Beeswax candles generally burn longer than candles made from other waxes, such as paraffin or soy. A beeswax candle can last up to 50% longer than a similar-sized paraffin candle because beeswax burns hotter and more slowly. The actual burn time depends on the size of the candle, but you can expect longer-lasting enjoyment from your beeswax candles.
How do I care for my beeswax candle to ensure it burns evenly?
To get the most out of your beeswax candles, follow these simple tips:
Trim the wick: Keep the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch to prevent flickering, reduce soot, and ensure an even burn.
Burn long enough: Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface during the first burn to avoid tunneling.
Avoid drafts: Burn your beeswax candle in a draft-free area to ensure an even burn and avoid excessive dripping.
Store properly: Keep candles in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and avoid melting.
Can I reuse leftover beeswax from a burned candle?
Yes! Beeswax is reusable, and leftover wax can be melted down and repurposed. You can melt the remaining wax and pour it into molds to create new candles, or use the wax for DIY projects like lip balm, furniture polish, or even skin care. It’s a great way to reduce waste and get even more use out of your beeswax candles.
Do beeswax candles have a scent?
Yes, beeswax candles have a natural, subtle honey-like fragrance. This scent is not overpowering, unlike synthetic fragrances in some other candles. If you're sensitive to strong scents or prefer a more natural aroma, beeswax candles offer the perfect solution without the use of artificial perfumes or chemicals.
What is the white powder that is on my beeswax candle?
Glad you asked! That white dusty looking powder is called BLOOM. This happens when the natural oils and resins found in pure beeswax float to the surface when exposed to temperature changes. Generally bloom is a good sign that you truly have pure beeswax! If you don’t like the look of bloom, simply take a soft cloth and polish your candle to remove it.
