What is beeswax? Beeswax cappings are created by bees to cover the cells in the honeycomb. These cells contain honey. The beeswax cappings are removed to extract the honey. To create pure candle wax, the cappings are melted in hot water and strained to remove impurities. That’s it! The result is a pure and perfect wax that is colored by pollen and fragranced by honey and flower nectar. Beeswax candles release a warm honey aroma when lit. And since beeswax has a high melt point, it produces a brighter flame with a warm honey glow. Burning beeswax produces negative ions that actually clean the air and create a sense of well being. Beeswax burns cleaner and longer than any other wax.
