Honey
bees gather nectar from flowers. They beat
their wings to create a breeze in the hive that
evaporates the water out of nectar to make honey. As
they nourish themselves with the honey and stored pollen
they secrete beeswax in scales from a gland on their
undersides. They turn around eight pounds of honey into
a pound of beeswax.
The candles from
this beeswax burn evenly and completely in a pure way
that emits no smoke or soot, like other types of wax.
Burning beeswax candles actually improves indoor air
quality by changing the ions in the air from positive to
negative. These ions then bind to positively charged
particles in the air, like smog and dust, and create a
heavier particle which falls from the air and can be
removed from home surfaces by dusting or vacuuming.
Our beeswax candles
are pure, naturally sweet-smelling, and made with cotton
wicks.
