Beeswax & Candles

Beeswax

Managing about 300 hives creates excess beeswax. The beeswax is then filtered several times to remove impurities. Hardwood Honey has an eclectic variety of candles. Benefits of a beeswax candle include:

  • Negative ions purify the air
  • Soot free, burns cleanly
  • The white light emitted is in the same spectrum as the sun
  • Burns longer, drips less than other waxes
  • Invigorates the body

Please check out the classic and the seasonal candles offered below.

Bloom refers to the whitish cast that takes over the outside of a 100% beeswax candle. It does not affect the way a candle burns, and is simply a natural process of the softer oils of the beeswax rising to the outside surface. To remove bloom, simply rub the candles with a soft, lint-free cloth. Another method to use is gently blowing on them with a warm blow-dryer. Both methods work well.

How Honey Bees Produce Beeswax

Honey bees secrete beeswax that is used for brood-rearing and the storage of pollen and honey. It is the young worker bees that produce beeswax from glands on the underside of the abdomen. A temperature of 95-97 degree Fahrenheit is necessary, therefore bees cluster together. 

Beeswax Composition
