It takes 5-8lbs of Honey to make 1lb of beeswax.
The wax is harvested as a by-product of uncapping the honey frames and replacing the old and used beeswax combs. It is extracted by solar wax melters and water to filter, with no chemicals being used. Truly an environmental process, keeping the beeswax eco friendly and sustainable.
Beeswax Celebration Candles
Celebrate without plastic and paraffins using beeswax candles – each candle is hand dipped using pure beeswax and can be directly inserted into the cake. A few drips? No worries, although I wouldn’t subscribe to eating a whole candle, beeswax is edible.
