100% Pure Beeswax
We use only clean, lightly filtered, 100% pure beeswax from beeswax cappings in our beeswax candles, with no fillers or additives. Its non-toxic properties make it perfect for a clean burning and bright fuel source as a beeswax candle.
All of our beeswax is made in the USA.
Unlike paraffin candles, beeswax is hypo-allergenic, great for people with allergies or other sensitivities, and those of us who want a clean burning candle in our homes.
Hand Poured & Hand Finished
We craft all of our beeswax candles by hand. It takes an experienced hand to ensure each candle is perfect - we don't want any air bubbles, crooked wicks, or other imperfections. Each candle is inspected to ensure its quality. We have no "factory second" beeswax candles; if the candle doesn't make the grade, it goes right back into the wax melter.
Some candle makers will ship you their product directly after removing it from the mold where it is often unleveled, uneven, and simply unattractive. We've always taken the time to carefully hand finish each candle so that our beeswax candles are as stunning to look at as they are beautiful to burn.
Honey Scented
Our beeswax candles naturally give off a luscious honey aroma. Scent varies slightly based on honey, pollen, and propolis present in the beeswax.
A candle's scent throw (i.e. the candle's ability to deliver an aroma) varies based on personal sensitivities and environment.
Golden Colored
The raw beeswax we use comes from the hive as a light golden yellow color, which we call "Natural" when we refer to the candle's color. The natural color of beeswax is determined by the remaining pollen and propolis in the wax; this color varies a little between each batch.
Our naturally golden colored beeswax candles do not contain dyes.
Antique Look
Bloom is a white film that naturally appears on beeswax over time. Our colorful beeswax candles can be kept polished for a shiny modern look or let their age show by allowing the bloom to appear over time.
The bright color of beeswax is a great backdrop for showcasing the white antique finish of the bloom.
Smoke & Soot Free
Using clean burning beeswax candles is an excellent way to keep your home free of the smoke and soot that is a common result of burning paraffin candles.
When burned in a draft free environment with the wick trimmed to 1/4" a beeswax candle will burn bright and clean with virtually no smoke or soot.
Beeswax May Have Health Benefits
Negative ions are most commonly found near moving water, such as crashing waves, thunderstorms, and waterfalls. Negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.
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.

Naturally Drip Resistant
A beeswax candle is less likely to drip than other types of candles because of the complex molecular structure and higher melting point of beeswax. This allows the wick to burn the molten beeswax at just the right pace so it doesn't drip out of the wax pool. These qualities combined with a properly maintained wick, a level burning surface, and draft free environment will help prevent drips from occurring.
Beeswax candles are naturally drip resistant. Paraffin candles require chemical additives, like stearic acid, to make them drip less.
Candle Size
We hand pour all of our beeswax taper candles. The dimensions listed are an approximation and will vary slightly for each candle. Please consider each candle a work of art. Our tapers have an approximate base width of 7/8" and fit most standard size taper holders.
We make outstanding candles, but we are humans, not machines. Learn more about why candle size varies.
Burn Time
Burn time is a close approximation and will vary somewhat based on your environment and burning preferences. Our listed burning times are conservative averages, not a guarantee. Proper wick maintenance helps (keep wick trimmed, avoid drafts).
Some wax will remain unused after the wick has been fully burned, this is normal.

We have been using these tapers for the past eight years and have never used any others since. They have a wonderful, soft aroma and burn cleanly.

These are the perfect candles, beautiful when lit and even just displayed on the table. They burn beautifully, exactly as described on the website. The customer service goes above and beyond the traditional. I thought I made I made a mistake in my order and sent a panicky email to them; they responded quickly and checked to make sure that all was in order. I’ll be back as soon as I need any kind of candles.

These are the most beautiful candles I’ve ever seen. I haven’t burned them yet, but I love the all-cotton wick and the old-fashioned looking color of the natural candle. They look so clean and wholesome! And the price is the best of all! Very good product.

I’m very happy with my purchase. Easy to order and delivery was quick. But most importantly the candles are a quality product. Thank you. After reading the pros and cons of soy, paraffin and bees wax candles, 100% pure bees wax candles are a no brainer. They are my candle of choice from now on.

Great candles that elicit very positive comments. Make it a point to tell them where they can buy their own.

My boyfriend and I always light taper candles at dinner time. He consistently purchased paraffin candles, and the dripping of the wax all over the candlesticks practically formed stalactites, and the splattering (when you blew them out) was covering the table in waxy spots that were nearly impossible to scrape off and never quite wiped away clean. Not to mention they burned so quickly we were replacing them weekly. Finally I insisted on getting beeswax candles, and I’m so glad! These candles proved my point, that beeswax burns clean, does not drip or splatter, and lasts forever. We’ve been using our first pair for a month now and they are only just now getting “short.” As described, they have certainly burned at least 12 hours at this point, if not more. I will definitely be buying again!

This is the second year I’ve ordered Bee Hive candles–they’re very good candles. They have a lovely faint honey scent. But I did have one candle that completely flaked–I had eight 10″ tapers going, no draft, seven of them burning perfectly and cleanly–almost no drips, and one that burned really fast with a completely deformed cascade of wax rivulets (hard to describe) and drips–gone in an hour! I should have taken a picture. I wonder what caused this?

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your feedback! Please contact us and we’ll replace the taper. 🙂
A few reasons why this may happen:
– Tapers need to be straight in their holder, if not, the wick can lean a bit to the side and melt the taper and destroy the wick pool.
– Occasionally a drip will form on the side due to air movement or drafts. If left unchecked it will start leaking over the side.
– As always, never leave a candle unattended. The occasional drip or lean can be corrected if attended while burning.

Great candles! We use these in our Advent wreath and on the dinner table Fall and Winter. Family members with asthma can be in the room with a beeswax candle burning…not so with paraffin candles. They are lovely.

This is my first time ordering from this company and it won’t be the last. The candles are beautiful and smell wonderful, even unlit. But I can hardly wait to light them up this winter and holiday season. Thank you!

I began searching for true beeswax candles a year or so ago after reading Meik Wiking’s book “The Little Book of Hygge” and found your products to be the very best of several different online vendors. I love the gentle light the candles bring to my home, the beautiful natural scent given off, and the calming effect the have on the whole family. This year all my adult children received a pair of tapers, the book, a pair of woolly socks and a Christmas cake, in order to bring more Hygge into their homes. I recommend it to everyone I meet!
