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.
Learn more about the Benefits of Beeswax
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 each of our beeswax tea light 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 use 4-6 beeswax tealights every week, and sometimes more, and I only use beeswax tealights or candles out of concern for my spouse who has asthma as well as the environment. I therefore buy beeswax tealights in bulk, which are less commonly found and more expensive than plastic cups. These tealights are excellent quality, smell wonderful, and are among the least expensive online options I have found on any website.

I have, now, various holders for tea lights. I only buy Bee Hive candles. Tried others here and there, but others don’t stay lit, or don’t smell as good, etc.
A box of these tea lights, about 100 per box I usually get, is splendid. I’ve given the 100 size box (aluminum cup tea lights) as gifts to my brother and sister on either side of me in born order.
I love these, generally, I just light it and let it go. I place my tea lights among various crystals, and so the dancing light is a refreshing way to experience the crystals.
I do a lot of work at my desk, and having a tea light going makes it more sweet.

I absolutely LOVE these tea lights, especially for adding more light and warmth (yes, HYGGE!) indoors during the cold, dark winters. They burn cleanly and for ~4 hours, as advertised. They give off such a divine scent, nothing toxic or faux about the smell of these candles. I must give a shout out to Beehive’s customer service because I accidentally ordered the tea lights in the clear plastic cups and then realized after the order had been placed for a day or so that I had not re-ordered the same tea lights I had purchased in the past. I reached out to Beehive and asked if a swap could be made. They were able to catch my package before it shipped out, made the swap, and credited me the difference in cost. If you haven’t ordered from them before, you won’t be disappointed! Give their high-quality, wonderful products a try! Great gifts, too!

These tea lights have a subtle honey fragrance from the beeswax and they burn evenly up to 4+ hours indoors. The outstanding quality hasn’t changed either since I started ordering several years ago. It’s one of the many reasons why I will continue to shop here. Thank you for continuing to use 100% beeswax and having such a great product!

If only everyone would follow your lead. Not only are these candles made with 100% beeswax (i.e., no petroleum or soy), but they come in a compostable cardboard box NOT wrapped in plastic. I usually buy one box of 112 at a time, but next time I re-order I will likely order 2 or 3 boxes so that I can help cut down on the delivery stream and just have 1 annual delivery. I love the subtle, natural scent and the fact that they work so well at making ur home smell clean. I also love that they’re made by a small business right here in North America.

I compared a lot of different beeswax tea lights before buying the 112 from here. This bulk option really is one of the best options I could find. Each cup nearly overflows with wax. This isn’t a problem during burn, but is just a nice details that shows Beehive doesn’t scrimp on product despite the good price. The burn time is excellent. As to the re-lighting problem I see some other reviewers commented on, I only have a problem if I haven’t trimmed the wick. If the wick is trimmed to 1/4 to 1/3 in, it lights up and burns easily until every last drop of wax is gone.
More a comparison of beeswax to paraffin counterparts: these candles have a strong glow and intense array of reddish colors in the light. Quite a different experience from paraffin candles that have a very flat light. Any shadows have clear light and dark lines. You’d think these beeswax candles have curved beams for how they seep past the shadow borders with an intense glow.

This is probably the fourth or fifth time I’ve reordered the tea lights in the aluminum cups. They burn well, they smell great and I love the fact the they are packaged in a basic cardboard box and there is minimal packaging. In 2019, we have resolved to go as close to zero waste/zero plastic as possible. Knowing that the product and packaging aren’t contributing to global warming, pollution or more landfill / ocean waste is important to us. We also like purchasing products made in the U.S., Canada or Mexico made with locally sourced ingredients. Basically, these are an all-around win/win!

I placed my first order over a year ago when I began making the switch to non-toxic household products. A friend recommended I try beeswax candles, and after much searching on the web, I came across Bee Hive Candles. I just received my 3rd order, and I’m still a super happy customer. Shipments arrive quickly, are packaged well with no damage, and I ADORE the metal cup tea-lights for everything….essential oil warmers and in holders for ambience. And you cannot beat the price and quality!

I love burning candles, but most candles give me headaches due to the chemicals in the wax. I decided to try beeswax candles since they’re natural and free of chemicals. I’m happy to report that these candles didn’t give me a headache! From now on I’ll only use beeswax candles. On a side note, I was pleasantly surprised that this company is located in Northern Washington. I also live in Washington so the shipping was super quick. Glad to be supporting a local business.

Love these tea light candles in aluminum cups! Smell lovely and do not smoke. As others have
mentioned, difficult to relight, but not a problem in my household. Sometimes there remains a small amount of wax – never certain if I can send to recycle with residual wax (??). Much prefer aluminum to plastic, however.

Bee Hive Candles –
Hello and thank you for your feedback! Yes, you can still recycle the aluminum cups if a little bit of beeswax remains. Tip: Ideally when the tea light has about 50% or less wax remaining, let the tea light burn out on it’s own. It’ll use up all or just about all of the beeswax that way.

Bee Hive Candles –
Thanks for your input Vicki! Yes, after a tea light reaches the half way mark it is difficult to relight them as there is very little wax and wick remaining. We recommend burning them in one or two sessions. When the tea light reaches the half way point, let it continue to burn until the wax is fully used.
