100% pure beeswax pillar candles. Two sizes available. Natural scent, Eco-friendly. Fresh made to order.

The large candle contains 250g of pure beeswax. It’s 9.5 cm tall, 6 cm wide and burns for 30 hrs approximately.

The smaller candle contains 150g of pure beeswax. It is 9.5 cm tall and 4 cm wide and has an approximate burning time of 22 hours.

These candles can be burned without a container but must be placed on a safe surface.

Beeswax is a natural and renewable resource. Beeswax candles emit a bright, healthful light within the same spectrum as the sun — plus negative ions that clean and purify the air and invigorate the body. Being free of harsh chemicals is great for sensitive pets, children, asthma sufferers and for hay fever relief

This candle can be used for any purpose, such as decorating the house, serving as a centrepiece, giving as a gift, or celebrating a special occasion.

Burn and Care

To get the longest and cleanest burn from beeswax pillar candles, follow these steps:

The First Burn: Allow the candle to burn for at least 2 to 3 hours the first time you light it until the melt pool reaches close to the edge of the pillar. This establishes a memory ring and prevents the candle from "tunneling" down the centre.

Trim the Wick: Keep the cotton wick trimmed to 5 mm before every light. This ensures a steady, controlled flame and prevents smoking.

Hug the Edges: As the candle burns down and the core hollows slightly, wait until the wax is warm and pliable, then gently fold the outer edges inwards toward the flame. This melts the remaining wax and extends the life of your pillar.

Extinguishing: Instead of blowing the flame out, dip the wick directly into the melt pool using a long tool, then straighten it back up. This coats the wick in wax, making it easier to light next time, and eliminates smoldering smoke.

Safety & Placement: Always burn on a level, heat-resistant plate or holder. Keep the candle away from open windows or drafts to prevent rapid, uneven burning, and never leave it unattended.

Im not usually someone to leave a review (ever really), but I have been consistently delighted with the candles from “the bees and Semia”. I feel that (although ive never visited) the bees are very well cared for and therefore the quality and scent of these candles is supreme. They are expensive, and I recently tried a beeswax candle from another beekeeper, which was cheaper but far less pleasant to look and and smell- just all round poorer quality. These candles are wonderful, and as a very sensitive person with very sensitive lungs, I feel that these support me to breathe more deeply. Thank you so much.

I am over the moon with these 3 companies which completed what I was looking for.

BeeMineDorset
Handmade by the seller, bees wax pillar and tea light candles. I chose this company as they had the longest burning times with the wax solely from their OWN bees

QuinceTreeStudio
Handmade by the seller, ceramic dish for the pillar candle. Cute designers stamp underneath

OliveandFawnHome
For a handmade ceramic tea light holder, which you can carry safely, without burning yourself

They were all dispatched promptly, with m and free packaging

Candle arrived as expected burns well. Will need a wick trimmer to stop the flame getting to bag and to have an even burn

Beautiful candle from an ethical beekeeper. Having kept bees myself years ago i have no time for those who take all thd honey from the bees and give back sugar water. This lady obviously loves her bees as can bee seen by the beautiful wax of the candle.
