Pure Honey Wax Candles

There is nothing as natural and pure as pure beeswax honey candles. They have properties that you won’t find in any other candle, such as being smokeless. They do not drip and have a natural sweet smell that cannot be imitated. They do reach a melting point that you can’t get with any other wax and that is 145 degrees. You can buy these in sheets to make rolled candles, which with give you the same advantages that you will find by melting it down.

The history of beeswax goes back to the times of the Romans when they were used for candles due to their sweet smell of honey and because they burn so slowly. Back then it was only allotted for the extremely wealthy and the Church. The cost of beeswax back then controlled who could buy this wonderful product.

Is there any wonder that this wax has the beautiful scent that it does when it is made from the nectar of flowers? Beeswax can differ in color from yellow to white and sometimes even brown, but no matter what the color you still get that same pure honey smell that the beeswax candles are known for. You will get the scent of honey along with the other subtle scents of the hive to combine in a breathtaking soothing smell. In some ways beeswax is still a little more expensive than other waxes. This is due to the great amount used by candle makers and it is in very high demand. Eight pounds of honey must be consumed by the bees to produce one pound of honey wax made by the colony.

Candles are made from pure raw, unprocessed honey wax. The wax is cleaned and let settle while the heavier impurities settle to the bottom. You have to make sure the wax is not over processed. It is amazing that these wonderful candles come from something that is ruled by bees but you can see this in every candle that is made.
