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.
Our naturally honey-scented beeswax candles do not contain added scents or fragrances.
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.

I ordered two candles (one for myself and one as a gift) for a special purpose which hasn’t arisen yet. The quality is excellent; I’ve already received compliments on it. Shipping was prompt. When I need more I will definitely reorder this one.

These candles burn great, last long, and best of all, for me, are not scented!

I have been a regular customer of Bee Hive for 10 years. The quality and service are excellent. These candles give the most beautiful soft and warm light. When life is crazy just relax into the warmth of the candle light. Highly recommended!

I have a winery and I keep one lit while I am working in the cellar. The light keeps me company and the aroma melds beautifully with the scent of oak and wine. You are never alone when you have a beeswax candle lit nearby. Don Corson, Camaraderie Cellars

We enjoy the candles. We have spent all of the summer and most of the fall sitting out on our porch in the evening. Now that the days are growing shorter and the evenings have gotten cool, we have moved indoors. The warm glow of the candles, which we light two at a time, keeps our spirits up. They will bring us comfort through the long nights, until spring arrives and we can return to the porch.

I have used other bees wax candles, but they burn so fast they aren’t worth it. These candles last for a very long time – – which goes to show their quality. The first few times I lit them, they would drip a lot. I learned that if you cut the wick to less than 1/4 inch before lighting them again, they don’t drip. They’ve worked perfectly ever since.

I have purchased beeswax candles from many places over many years. The quality and professionality of service is top notch. I have one lit when ever I am working in my place of business which happens to be a winery cellar. The light is warm. The aroma is a pure delight and never intrudes. I think the wine likes it too!

I had heard about candles made with beeswax, however, I truly didn’t have a clue. The candles burn slow, they smell wonderful, when you follow the directions, it’s all good. Will be purchasing some more. Thank you so much.
