Benefits of Beeswax Candles

Beeswax has long been used for making candles. The benefits are extensive, including when burnt these candles help to actively clean the air rather than pollute. They release negative ions which bind to positive pollutant ions. (Read more about the benefits of beeswax candles and negative ions here.)

Especially useful in the kitchen or rooms where odours develop. Unscented, these candles have a slight honey aroma only. Coupled with our pure cotton wicks, these candles burn clean and pure.

Northumberland Honey Co also carry environmental responsibility as a core ethos, after all we are beekeepers and looking after the environment dictates our bees success.

Where possible we only ship in recycled materials, paper wrap and if we have to use plastic for the safe shipping of jars or bottles we use re-usable, recyclable airsacs.

 

How to Use Beeswax Candles
- Burn Time

Firstly to understand how best to use beeswax candles you need to know that beeswax has a lower melting point than parrafin and soy candles. Therefore beeswax candles are best burnt on a plate or similar heat proof surface rather than in a lantern (as this increases the heat the candle is subject to – speeding up burn time)
 
Burn time on beeswax candles is generally longer per weight of candle as the wax is more dense.

How to Use Beeswax Candles
- Extinguishing

The wick used for beeswax candles is thicker than the wick in other candles (which allows for a larger flame further from the wax thus keeping the wax cooler). Therefore when it comes to extinguishing beeswax candles this is best done with a candle snuffer and will create less smoke.
