Beeswax candles are made from the wax that honeybees produce. Beekeepers collect this wax from hives, often as part of the honey harvesting process. We filter it and melt it to make candles. Beeswax candles have been used for centuries and people still love them for their warm sunny light and gentle honey like scent. They do take time and effort to produce, which is why they cost more than the mass-produced candles which are more widely sold.

You might wonder why beeswax candles cost more than regular ones. Well, it’s because bees don’t make loads of wax quickly, so there’s not much to go around. Also, making these candles takes more time and effort than churning out the cheap ones you find in shops.

The price you pay for a beeswax candle reflects its purity and quality as well as the time it takes to produce. They burn for ages, so you don’t need to replace them as often. They’re also better for the environment than normal candles which may be made from soy or paraffin wax. If you care about these things and don’t mind spending a bit more, beeswax candles might be right up your street.
