Live Honeybees

Bee Pure Candles are uniquely better in many ways.

• Wax comes from Oregon-based bees that are given no harsh mite pesticides typically applied in “commercial-model” beekeeping.

• These nerve-damaging chemicals are toxic to bees, other living creatures, and they readily pass through bees to your candle wax. Toxins concentrate in wax just as they do in fatty animal tissue.

• Wax is “raw”, not processed. Color variations come from traces of bee pollen, honey and propolis (natural bee weatherization glue). All healthy.

• Original, beautiful shapes and burning qualities. Tapers reveal castle spire points, egg, globe, hive and cone reveal their patterns in relief as wick flame shines from within the candle.

• Bee Pure Candles are also unique in that no two look exactly alike. Poured in small batches in my Portland, Oregon basement - there is handcrafted candle individuality in each one.

• 5% of profits go to support LiveHoneybees, which teaches about the connection between bees and people.

   Tips on candle burning . . .

   Aside from the obvious - keep far from flammables - -here are my best tips on making the most of your Bee Pure Candle.

   1. Breezes and candle angle (tipping) and wick length will effect how tall you flame is and if you get any drips.

   2. Select a plate or other hard, smooth drip pad - just in case you get a few. If you burn your candles all the way, the candle bottom will get pretty warm – warm enough to discolor a wood surface, so place your candle up on a drip / warm wax buffer. You can chip off wax bits after putting plate in the freezer for a short while..

   3. To more you trim your wick, to say ¼ or even 1/8 inch, the longer and less brightly your candle will burn.

   4. In some environments, the egg candlewick gets too flooded with wax. To fix this, every once in a while tip the candle quickly to one side to let wax in the bowl drain onto your plate or newspaper that’s bowl shaped to stay on newspaper for the few moments it takes for the wax to harden up. This newspaper is now a great fire starter in the fireplace.

   5. If you do not like the smell of a doused wick, you can bury the wick in molten wax until it is out with a nail or similar tool, or take a wet q-tip and drown flame with a well placed 1/2 drop.
