Our pure beeswax beehive candle is one of our best sellers!
We create the beehive as our version of a tea light candle. They have approximately 6 hours of burn time, with 57 grams of beeswax and a pure cotton wick. Our intention is to have a tea light that has not metal or plastic holder, and a wick that has no metal. This allows for no waste materials, aside from the leftover beeswax.
The perfect choice for shorter burning times, our beeswax beehive candle can be lit for 5 minutes or 5 hours, without worry about the candle tunnelling, or losing future burn quality. Great for meditation, or any shorter daily rituals or practices.
Our beeswax candles are created using local Australian beeswax. We clean the beeswax with water, then pour into moulds, using the best quality pure cotton wicks available. It is our highest priority to create beeswax candles that maintain the natural and vast benefits of beeswax. So that you may enjoy these benefits in your homes, places and spaces.
Mould Size: 6cm x 4.5cm
Candle Care
Candle Care
Good candle care will ensure the longevity of your beeswax pillar candles.
Candle care for pillar candles: Long burn range
1) To prevent tunneling, and establish a lovely burn pool for a beeswax pillar candle, we reccommend that the first time you light it, you burn it for 2 hours, and the second time you light it, burn for 4 hours. Thereafter, burn your beeswax candles for 3 hours or more each burn.
2) For optimum burn quality, a beeswax candles is best burned for long periods of time. Beeswax pillar candles will thrive when burned for 3 hours or more each time. The approximate burn time for our range of pillar candles is: 140 hours for the 3XL, 110 hours for the extra large, 90 hours for the large, 70 hours for the medium, 60 hours for the Fleur De Lis and 50 hours for the small.
3) Good candle care includes looking after the wick. When extinguishing, gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool and stand it back up again. This will prime it for your next burn. Thereafter, keep the wick trimmed to 6mm before each use. The way to tell if the wick needs trimming, is when you see it has a 'mushroom top'. To trim the wick, simply snap the mushroom top off the wick with your fingers.
Candle care for other candles: Short burn range
Small Beehive & Taper Dinner candle care: The beehive, and taper dinner candles can be burned freely, and do not need to be prepared as the pillar candles do. To care for the wick, keep the wick trimmed to 6mm before each use.
For longevity and brightness, please burn candles out of direct breeze.
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 candles with care as wax will become hot when melted.
