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 are my absolute favorites! They burn very clean without dripping or smoking. They are a gorgeous color, and naturally colored without dyes. They last a long time too!

Beautiful beeswax pillars. Perform nicely. Wonderful beeswax smell. Look beautiful in the fireplace. Wicks are high quality. Recommend to trim the wick before relighting and to extinguish with a candle quencher. I am very happy. Used to get my products from a well known company famous for scented candles but their candle making museum has not reopened due to the events of the past year and a half. So this is the first time I have ordered from someone else. Next on my list are your tea light s and votives. Glad to spend my money on an American made product.

When I peeled off the paper label before lighting the candle, the wax beneath it smelled wonderful. It’s one of my favorite scents in the world. I’ve used a 3” x 4” pillar a few times, and it burns brightly and evenly for hours without burning off much of the candle mass. I have many hours to go. Thank you. The rooms I burn these in have a subtle freshness to the air after burning for several hours and extinguishing properly (per the instructions on your site).

Love this candle. It was a learning curve for me, but it has held up well and gives a very light honey scent. Highly recommend.

This is my second order from Beehive and I was equally as happy with these larger pillars than I was with the smaller candles in my initial purchase. They arrived well packed and in perfect condition despite the travel literally across country. I burn 10 candles at once in our fireplace for 2-3 hrs. at a time and need a “clean” candle. These do not disappoint. No soot, unpleasant scents, or worry of toxins in the air. By far my favorite candles.

I use these candles daily during morning yoga & meditation–usually for about an hour and a half burn time. I always hug in the edges when I extinguish the flame. The extra thick wicks provided help to burn all of the wax, which means you don’t end up throwing away unburned wax. They’re a good buy because of the high-quality, long-burning wicks provided.

They smell terrific, they burn cleanly and pretty evenly if you let them burn at least the minimum time. I’m definitely buying more.

I don’t burn the candle that often but when I do it’s for at least an hour. It seems to be burning slowly and evenly, and the smell is lovely. Even when it’s not burning I can smell the scent of honey.
