100% Natural Beeswax
Beeswax is a renewable all natural product with no additives or fillers. It's non-toxic properties make it perfect for a clean burning and bright fuel source as a beeswax candle. Unlike most of the manufactured paraffin candles, beeswax is hypo-allergenic, great for people with allergies or other sensitivities and those of us who want a safe, clean burning candle in our homes.
All Natural Wick
Bee Hive Candles' philosophy is creating beeswax candles that are all natural and safe to burn. We use lead-free cotton and other natural wick in every beeswax candle we make. Be wary as some imported paraffin candles still contain lead wicks. Our lead-free wicks have been selected for each beeswax candle to provide a bright flame and optimum wax pool to prevent tunneling.
Drip Resistant
Beeswax candles are naturally drip free and do not require chemicals to make them dripless like paraffin candles. Note that extra care is needed when burning honeycomb tapers as their thin honeycomb design is fragile and can make it difficult for the tapers to hold their wax pool. Honeycomb tapers are more susceptible than solid tapers to drips caused by air movement around the flame and must be used in a draft free environment to remain dripless.
Hand Rolled
In following with the amazing amount of effort that bees expend to create beeswax, all of our honeycomb candles are carefully crafted by hand. Each candle is tightly rolled around a cotton wick and neatly finished to ensure the best burning characteristics. They are then packaged using minimal materials (all reusable and recyclable) to keep with our environmentally friendly concerns.
Potpourri of Colors
Our beeswax honeycomb candles allow you to get the benefits of burning beeswax while adding the choice of 16 colors. We can make beeswax candles to match any holiday, season, or home decor. Honeycomb candles are an easy way to add an accent of color to any room.
Smoke & Soot Free
No one wants their home to be covered in candle soot, which is a common result of burning paraffin candles. An excellent way to prevent this from occurring while still enjoying the beauty of a candle is to use beeswax candles. When burned in a draft free environment with a wick trimmed to 1/4" a beeswax candle will burn bright and clean without smoke or soot.
Undeniable Unique Texture
There are many patterns found in nature but few of them are as amazing as the rows of hexagons that bees always create when making honeycomb. Bee Hive Candles' honeycomb candles are the perfect way to bring this iconic pattern into your home.
Beeswax May Have Health Benefits
Negative ions, which can make you feel better, are most commonly found near moving water, such as crashing waves, thunderstorms, and waterfalls. The moving water causes the surrounding air to move and that along with sunlight and radiation breaks apart molecules of air. The broken pieces end up with extra electrons making them negative ions.
While it is still debated and not yet scientifically proven, it is believed that there are other natural negative ion generators too, including our specialty, beeswax candles.
