Beeswax Candles - Sizes Vary From 3/4 inch to 6 inch in Diameter

Within the past year we have increased the size options of our Beeswax Hand-Dipped Candle Series and recently added a 1 3/4 inch diameter candle for a customer.

From our 6 inch tapers (3/4 inch wide) to our Beeswax Triple Wick Pillar Candles (6 inches wide), we will have something to fill your candle holders.

Read more about these candles from our recent blog post...

We recently had some questions about tunneling, when the candle burns down in the center and the candle eventually becomes unuseable.  A lot of wax can be wasted.

Many people "hug" the pillar, a process done when the candle is burning and the wax is warm. Gently squeeze the sides of the top turning some of the wax in so it will burn.
