The relationship between people and honeybees dates back thousands of years. The hives would be knocked down from trees or rock cliffs, and the honey was harvested when safe to do so. People later discovered that smoke from a burning stick helped subdue the bees, and therefore made honey harvesting easier and less invasive.

Ancient Egyptians valued the benefits of beeswax. They used beeswax for not only health and beauty, but also for candles, wax castings, and for the mummification process.

Today’s beekeeping relationship is a symbiotic one. Many issues have negatively affected the wonderful honey bees as well as other pollinators which include: availability and quality of food supply, farming practices, some GMO crops which may have lower nutritional value, pesticides, pests and diseases, climate change and some beekeeping practices (feeding bees an exclusive sugar water diet instead of their own honey).

Beeswax candles have been around for over 3000 Years. Candles were primarily made from tallow or beeswax until about 1850, but subsequently have been made from spermaceti, purified animal fats (stearin), paraffin wax and most recently soybean wax.

Beeswax candles burn the cleanest, burn the longest, have the brightest flame and have a history of helping people suffering from allergies, asthma and hay fever.

Beeswax is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, hypoallergenic and never goes rancid! Beeswax has a sweet natural honey aroma.
