Optimize Your Beeswax Candle Burns
We’ve made it no secret that we like beeswax. A lot. Naturally, we also like answering questions from our customers about their beeswax candles. Sometimes, we get questions about whether tapers or candlesticks would be better for a dinner table (consider tapers for a formal look, and candlesticks for a longer burn life), while other…
Meet the Bees: Bumblebees and Buzz Pollination
When you work for The Beeswax Company, you get used to curious little honeybees buzzing into the shop to say hi. As such, bees are one of our favorite topics, and not only because we rely on honeybees for the wax we use to make our 100% pure beeswax candles, but because we recognize how…

Beeswax Food Wrap DIY
The beeswax food wrap craze was already taking off as an eco-friendly and healthier alternative to using plastic wrap and disposable baggies for school lunches and leftovers.

We want you to know, also, that we’re still open and working away. The bees…
Can You Eat Beeswax?
A question that always makes us smile is “Can you eat beeswax?” While we wouldn’t recommend taking a bite out of one of our artisan-made pure beeswax candles, just a little nibble won’t hurt.
