Introducing our 100% Beeswax Candles


Our Beeswax is 100% natural and comes from local farmers right here in Minnesota. We do NOT add fragrance(beeswax has a lovely natural sweet scent) and we only use natural cotton wicks so you can enjoy all the wonderful health benefits and a longer burn time.
Please allow 3 days for us to make your precious, unique, one of a kind candle. All Candles come in a gorgeous, primitive, bee adorned gift box, great for gift giving.
Beeswax is very different: all natural, non-toxic, non-polluting, non-allergenic, and with a delicious honey-sweet aroma. A perfect, renewable resource, beeswax is made by the female worker bee for honeycomb, which safely contains their honey and the Queen’s baby bees. To produce one pound of beeswax, the worker bees eat about ten pounds of honey (yum), fly 150,000 miles, and visit 33 million flower blossoms! Beeswax is precious stuff.
Health Benefits of Beeswax Candles Beeswax produces negative ions that actually clean your air of odors, pollens, smoke, dust, dust mites, viruses and other allergens and hazards – the only known fuel to do so. As does a rainstorm, beeswax candles leave your air fresher and cleaner - they are a true air purifier. They are the only candle for anyone with chemical sensitivities or allergies. Increasing negative ions in the air and on the body, such as when one bathes in water, improves mood and sense of wellbeing. With increased negative ions, studies show:
Improved air quality-Improved sleep -Enhanced immune system-Relief from hay fever & allergies-Less severe asthma attacks-Improved concentration
Balancing of hormones-Natural detoxification--Sense of wellbeing
Beeswax is good value. It achieves a very efficient and complete burn (mostly to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor) and thus burns brighter, hotter, cleaner, and longer than any other wax. When properly made and burned, beeswax candles are smokeless and dripless. Measured by burn time, beeswax candles are usually a better value than boutique paraffin – even when they appear to cost more. But beware: because of lax labeling laws and consistent lobbying by chemical candle makers, a candle may be labeled "beeswax" if it contains as little as 10% beeswax - the balance is probably paraffin. Also be suspicious of labels simply stating "natural". If the label doesn’t say "100% beeswax" or "pure beeswax", it almost certainly is not.
