How do Honey Bees make wax?
Honey bees make wax from flower nectar. First, they convert the nectar to honey. After, they engorge themselves on this honey and rest. While doing this, they secrete tiny flakes of wax from their abdomens. Then, this wax is carefully crafted by the bees into the thin layers of wax that cap the honey comb. This fine layer of cappings is the only wax from the beehive used to make our beeswax candles.
What are the benefits of burning Beeswax Candles?
There are many! Although these candles may appear to be more expensive on the shelves. However, these candles are competitively priced when considering their longer burn times. Beeswax has a nice mild honey scent which is perfect for those with allergies or sensitivities to scent. These candles don't smoke or drip, unless left in a draft. And the most amazing thing about Beeswax candles that no other candle can boast is that they are natural air purifiers, emitting negative ions into the air as they burn!
