Sold by the pair, our candles are hand dipped using wax from our own hives. They average about 9-10” long. We use a cotton wick and the candles are nearly dripless while burning. Each pair is wrapped in a hand-dyed silk ribbon.

Beeswax is arguably the most precious resource within a beehive. to make a single pound of wax, the bees must consume and process the equivalent of eight pounds of honey. Beeswax is used for nearly every function within the hive. The wooden boxes that we provide are like an empty warehouse without furniture. The wax comb that the bees create fills the space to hold their food, their babies, and the pollen for their young. It’s an ever changing landscape that they are able to reform and reuse for years.

The wax that we collect is mostly from honey cappings. That’s the lid of beeswax that they use to seal each cell of honey. The cappings are cut off when we harvest the honey and the undamaged comb is returned to the hive to be used again. Capping wax is light is color and smells as sweet as the honey that it held.
