Beeswax & Candles

Beeswax

Managing about 300 hives creates excess beeswax. The beeswax is then filtered several times to remove impurities. Hardwood Honey has an eclectic variety of candles. Benefits of a beeswax candle include:

• Negative ions purify the air
• Soot free, burns cleanly
• The white light emitted is in the same spectrum as the sun
• Burns longer, drips less than other waxes
• Invigorates the body

Please check out the classic and the seasonal candles offered below.

Bloom refers to the whitish cast that takes over the outside of a 100% beeswax candle. It does not affect the way a candle burns, and is simply a natural process of the softer oils of the beeswax rising to the outside surface. To remove bloom, simply rub the candles with a soft, lint-free cloth. Another method to use is gently blowing on them with a warm blow-dryer. Both methods work well.
