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 and hand finish each of our beeswax pillar candles. The dimensions listed are an approximation and will vary slightly for each candle. Please consider each candle a work of art.
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.

these candles seemed to have worked well and I would definitely recommend, I’m not sure if I can’t smell well but my room didn’t seem to have a different scent when candles were lit, personally that isn’t a problem for me, candles come well packaged and instructions on how to use

I am very pleased with the beeswax pillars I received. They are part of a gift for a relative. I know they will be well received.
She likes to support the life of bees. We don’t like candles made from soy or palm oil. I shall certainly order again.

This is a 5 star company. Their product is of very high quality. The packaging or wrappers are nice. The shipping process is well thought out and executed. Communication through the sales process is flawless. The website is simple, functional, and easy to navigate. Most of all I just love these candles. I use two daily for about 45 minutes on my alter while I meditate. They are pure and natural and complement the the nature of my practice. I have been using them daily for 2 years and hope to continue this practice for many more. thanks you Beehive Candles, I am glad I found you.

Burn beautifully. Smell fantastic and clear the air. We have a dog and cook a lot. The condition and smell of our home is important to us but I am VERY scent sensitive. I’m allergic to most chemicals and wouldn’t want to use them even if I wasn’t. All the bee hive candles we have are beautiful and keep our house smelling great.

I’ve become a loyal customer to Bee Hive Candles for both their high quality products and excellent customer experience. The beeswax candles are perfect for my workplace, nontoxic, and long-lasting. I appreciate the wide range of sizes but find that the 2×3 candles work best for my purposes, especially since I don’t need a candle holder. Always efficient delivery and packed safely. I will continue to buy from Bee Hive Candles for a long time.

LOVE! I am sensitive to fragrance have allergies and a dog. I like my house to smell clean but can’t tolerate potpourri or febreeze, etc. These candles leave my home smelling clean and warm. You wouldn’t even know I had a dog. Also love the warm glow ambiance they create.
