5 million flowers in one candle
It takes an almost unimaginable effort to create a single beeswax candle. Bees must visit nearly 5 million flowers to produce enough wax for just one candle – a journey equivalent to flying two and a half times around the Earth.
During the summer months, up to 60,000 bees in a single colony work hard to collect "sunlight" in the form of nectar and pollen. Over 20 hours, worker bees transform this energy into wax in their stomachs before using it to build intricate honeycombs.
While the wax is originally colorless, it develops its deep golden hue and familiar honey scent over time as nectar and pollen are stored within it.
Advice for your beeswax candles
Avoid drafts: To ensure a steady flame and prevent the candle from smoking or dripping, it should be placed away from drafts.
Wick length: The ideal wick length is 10-15 mm. If the wick becomes too long, you can gently trim it.
Burn time: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire surface to melt before extinguishing it – this ensures an even burn.
Over time, a matte coating known as "bloom" may appear on the surface of beeswax candles; this is a natural process proving the purity of the wax. The coating can easily be wiped off with a soft cloth if you prefer a glossy finish.
