"Absolutely lovely! Excellent quality and intoxicating (natural) fragrance, as well as very nice packaging. A nice addition to the 12” I previously ordered. Highly recommend! Thank you for the great, professional service!"
"They burn beautifully and long! They make my dining table glow and the smell of the bees is soft and inviting! I will be ordering more!"
"The 6 candle sticks and 2 3" pillars are made well, though, they are the color of muted, muddy pond water. I know, I have a pond. One of the pillars has a "touch" of a golden cast, but you wouldn't call it golden, its predominantly brown as well. We were bee keepers for years, never did I have brow wax. For the price, I am very disappointed."
"Simply the best candles. I use candles in my bedroom after sunset and these dont give off any harsh fumes or leave sooty marks on the ceiling or walls."
"You had me at the packaging!!! It’s all so beautiful and I cannot wait to order more!"

"Love"
"Candles and packaging are beautiful. The candles do seem to burn up very fast. Only able to burn them a couple times. I also didn’t realize I was subscribed to a monthly membership. I need to cancel this. I have reached out via email, no response as of yet."
"Product is lovely very disappointed in the lack of correspondence seen as I reached out to you twice"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
