Beeswax Candles

Many prefer to burn this natural product which burns with a pleasant glow and no smell.

Beeswax candles are produced from entirely natural constituents formed by honeybees. As bees consume honey, they create wax which is separated out from the honeycombs. Beeswax candles are the most natural candles that you are able to purchase and are available as taper candles, votive candles, tea lights and pillar candles.

You only have to see the rich colour of the candles to know the bees have made their contribution to this luxurious form of lighting.

How long have beeswax candles been used to light our homes? This most natural of products has been used in candles since Roman times. Bees wax was cleaned with salt water and bleached by exposure to the sun. Early settlers in America made their candle lights from wild bees' honeycomb.

Beeswax was an expensive raw material that was traditionally used in church candles.
