As you know, beeswax is the substance honeybees use to build their honeycombs. It is a natural substance collected as part of the honey collection process. Beeswax makes excellent candles for many reasons. It burns longer than paraffin, and generally with less soot and smoke. It has its own clean, natural scent that is so delightful without clashing with other household scents. I have found that the slight increase in price here is well worth it... and my clients seem to agree!!

I found a fabulous beekeeper in Texas who sells me the most fragrant, smooth and flawless beeswax I have ever seen. He gives me a good price on it, too, which makes my beeswax candles more affordable to the consumer! Why pay more for lower quality? I won't, and I don't expect my customers to either.

Most of my beeswax candles are poured into tins. This is for two reasons. The first is safety. Many glass containers cannot withstand the high heat needed to burn beeswax and breakage can occur. Secondly, my public loves them! The demand for them has been great, and the variety of tins available satisfies my need for creativity as well.
