More information on how we get our beeswax:
When we remove the surplus honey frames from our beehives at the end of the summer, the honeycomb has already been capped by the honeybees with a beautiful covering of beeswax to keep it clean and safe.
In order to extract the liquid honey from the frames we first remove the beeswax with a special knife and put the beeswax aside to melt down and clean at a later stage.
This beeswax needs to be melted and filtered a number of times to ensure that it is sufficiently clean to use for making beeswax wraps, candles or balm.
Time consuming but so rewarding to see the beautiful block of clean, fragrant beeswax at the end!
When you light your beeswax candles for the first time it is recommended that you allow your wax melt and form a pool close to the edge of the candle before extinguishing.
This will form a wax wall and prevent tunnelling in subsequent burns.
As your candle burns lower bend the wax wall inwards (also called “hugging”) helping to contain the wax pool.
Keep the cotton wick trimmed to approximately 7mm before each lighting.
