care for your candle.
For optimum burn quality, beeswax candles are best burned for long periods of time.
To establish a lovely burn pool for your pillar candle, that reaches out to the edge of the candle, we recommend 2 hours for the first burn, then 4 hours for the second burn. Thereafter, burn for 3 hours or more.
This ensures that your beeswax pillar candle will not tunnel, because the burn pool is now set.
For the beehive and dinner candles, these can be lit freely, and do not need to be burned in.
The approximate burn time for your pillar candles is: 140 hours for the 3XL, 110 for the XLarge, 90 hours for the large, 70 hours for the medium, 50 hours for the small, 12 hours for the dinner taper, and 6 hours for the beehive.
To care for the wick, when extinguishing, please gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool. This will prime it for your next burn. Keep the wick trimmed to 6mm before each use.
It is suggested to burn your candles out of direct breeze, for longevity and brightness.
For safety, always burn your candle on a stable, level, non-flammable, heat resistant surface. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Burn your candle out of reach of children and pets.
Avoid drafts. Never burn candles on or near anything flammable. Handle lit flame with care as wax will become hot.
