More information on 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 wax to keep it clean and safe.
In order to extract the liquid honey from the frames we first remove the wax 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 tapered 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 5mm before each lighting.
Our beeswax candles are also available as part of a gift set in beautiful Kraft ribbed packaging along with our pure Irish honey and beeswax products.
