From flower to candle
A beehive typically has 1 queen, around 49,900 female worker bees and 100 or so drones. Each with their own unique task to maintain the harmony in the hive. From housekeeping, to laying eggs, to tending to the queen, to collecting flower nectar, making flower nectar into honey, collecting pollen, guarding the hive and undertaking..
​
When female honeybees are about 15 days old, they start consuming a lot of honey, the temperature in the hive raises and once the perfect environment is created, a little drop of beeswax emerges from their belly. They use it to make the honeycomb and afterwards it is used to make your beeswax candles.
Bees consume around 10kgs of honey to make 1kg of beeswax (it is very energy intensive work). Beeswax is literally ripened flower nectar converted into wax.
​
What a privilege to create light from this extraordinary material of nature.
Benefits of beeswax
Beeswax is a pure and natural byproduct of honey making, unlike paraffine or other cheap materials which are full of chemicals and pollute the air while burning.
​​
​
Sustainable and organic:
Beeswax is a natural byproduct of honey production by bees, making it a sustainable way to enjoy candlelight.
​
Long-Lasting Glow:
Beeswax candles naturally burn twice as long as most other waxes. Their flame provide a warm and golden light, like the sun. Providing us hours of soothing, warm illumination.
​
Purifies the air:
Beeswax candles release negative ions, which have positive impact on air quality as they are known to help remove pollutants such as dust, mold spores, and allergens from the air. The ions attach themselves to bad particles, such as mold or dust, making them heavier and causing them to fall to the ground rather than being inhaled. Which makes them perfect for people who suffer from asthma and allergies or want to clean out the negative air.
​
Natural Honey Aroma:
The subtle, natural scent of honey is released when beeswax candles burn, without the use of additives.
The aroma helps fighting anxiety and stress, creating a soothing and positive energy.
They produce minimal soot and no harmful chemicals, making them a healthier choice for you and your loved ones.
​
Supporting a small business:
By switching from paraffin or soy to locally made beeswax candles, you decide to stop supporting mass industry and to help small businesses grow.
Which makes you a direct contributor of personal dreams and ethic living.

Candle care
-
Always burn candles within sight.
​
-
Rituals candles ( Twinflame & Rosegold) have a larger flame, so the petals will catch fire and the wax will drip, make sure to stay close as they burn and provide a solid underground to catch the melted wax.
​
-
Light candles in a draft-free room.
​
-
Provide with a solid candleholder to collect the dripping wax
​
-
Never burn on or near anything flammable.
​
-
make sure to trim the wick before burning
​
-
Keep away from pets and children.
As beeswax is a natural product, it may change color and smell over time.
​
Sometimes a powdery coating appears on the exterior of beeswax. This occurs because of temperature fluctuations. The candle is safe to burn or can be removed using a soft dry cloth.
​
Each candle is handmade.
Therefore they are not 100% identical
Candles may vary in size and color
Traditionally handdipped in harmony with nature
With a love for traditional crafts, I make each candle myself using the original dipping technique.
A cotton wick is repeatedly dipped into a bath of hot beeswax, a slow and intensive process.
Each candle is dipped approximately 20 times and must cool off between each dip. This process ensures that every candle is unique, crafted with great care and dedication.

May the receiver enjoy them as much as I enjoy the process of making them.
