Gorgeous!

I love my 12” tapers. They burn beautifully, and the natural beeswax candles create a gentle glow for all of my picked flowers to bask in. These candles, along with votives, tealights, and 6” pillars are staples in my life!

Our Essential Honeyed Light

We buy enough candles each fall to see us through winter, using electric light as little as possible. These have a naturally beautiful scent as well as being reliably even-burning, with the wicks well matched to the wax's thickness. We can't imagine buying something that's so important to us from anyone else.

My favorite candles

I've been buying both pillars and candlesticks from Honey Candles for a few years now and they are always fantastic! Incredibly high quality, burn perfectly every time (particularly if you follow the excellent and detailed instructions), and add a lovely warm glow and subtle scent to your home. Most importantly, these beeswax candles are so much more long-burning than soy candles (which I make and buy from time to time). The price is 100% worth it!

How do you make your beeswax candles?

Our candles are all carefully handmade in small batches. Most candles are made by pouring liquid wax into molds but in some cases (such as Birthday, Gala, Hanukkah and Chakra candlesticks), the wick is dipped into wax until it reaches the desired size. Then they are cooled, trimmed, finished, labelled and boxed.

What are the benefits of beeswax?

Beeswax is all natural, it is the only natural candle wax that does not require dedicated land use! It is a by-product of the honey farming and food pollination and supports optimal food production. When compared to other waxes, beeswax naturally burns cleaner, brighter, hotter and longer than most choices and does not require chemical processing or additives to enhance these properties. With an inherently pleasant but gentle aroma, beeswax is the perfect choice for the eco-friendly home.

What do you use to color your beeswax?

We use very minute amounts of enviro dye to make our colored candles. Our dye is REACH compliant, vegetable based, not tested on animals, is solvent free and has no components listed on the California Prop 65 list.

Why are my natural beeswax candles different shades?

Beeswax comes off the honey frames in a variety of colors ranging from pale beige to dark caramel. The color of the wax is dependent on what the bees are foraging on at the time and changes with the season and location. Although we do our best to blend our wax to maintain consistency, beeswax is a natural product and colour variation should be expected and appreciated!

Why are my candles covered in a white film?

All 100% pure beeswax candles will develop bloom over time. This whitish film is an indicator of purity and is cherished by candle connoisseurs. Fully developed bloom will sparkle beautifully in the light and look like crystals or snowflakes. Many candle lovers like the look of fully bloomed candles, especially for Christmas. Beeswax candles that have been blended with other waxes will not develop bloom. If you prefer a polished look, simply buff with a soft cloth, nylon stockings or cheesecloth. You can also run a warm blow dryer over the candle.
