Description

These mini twisted chime candles are hand-made from the excess wax produced in Bee Inspired Eco Education bee hives.

Pure and clean

The beeswax is carefully harvested and filtered so it is pure and clean. This ensures an exceptionally clean soot-free burn. We add nothing more than a cotton wick! In contrast to candles made from paraffin, our 100% beeswax candles emit no toxins when they are burnt. Some even say that they release negative into the atmosphere to help purify the air… we can’t find any scientific evidence to back this up, but as our candles have no added fragrance or colouring, they are definitely better to burn than other candles!

Long-lasting

Although only 10 cm tall, these twisted chime candles burn for 90 minutes each, much longer than similarly sized paraffin/soy/palm wax candles.

Naturally wonderful

The beeswax absorbs the scent of the hive, leading to a deliciously subtle smell of honey and earthy aromas. We love the natural variations in colour that come from the different forage that the bees find – each hives wax is unique!

Hand-crafted

These lovingly hand-crafted twisted candles are perfect for using in chimes. They are also great for anywhere else you would use mini taper candles. Because they are hand-made the candles will all vary slightly, adding to their charm.

FAQs

Why is beeswax different colours?
There are lots of elements that affect the final colour of beeswax as it is a natural product. It can range from pale yellow to very dark, almost brown/yellow. The very first flakes of wax produced by the bees is white. They secrete it from glands on their abdomen. As it is used in the hive it is exposed to nectar, pollen and honey. The colours of these will vary depending on what the bees have been foraging on. As the wax ages it can also become a deeper shade. The colour can also be affected by the processing of the wax. If beeswax is melted at a higher temperature, it will be darker. It also depends on how much the beeswax is refined. At Bee Inspired Eco Education, we like to filter the wax just enough to remove contaminants but not so much as to remove all the delicious scents!
Why does beeswax smell so good?
Beeswax is a natural substance made by the bees. It absorbs the scents of the hive, including honey, nectar, pollen and wood.
Where do you source your beeswax?
Our beeswax comes from the Bee Inspired Eco Education bee hives that are placed in and around the Leeds area. We welcome donations of excess wax from other beekeepers in the area. The provenance of any non-BIEE wax is carefully recorded and the wax lovingly filtered and assessed prior to being used.
How do I stop my candle tunneling?
The first burn is the most important, especially for wider candles such as pillar candles. You need to burn it for long enough to allow the entire top surface of the wax to completely melt (all the way to the edge). If your candle has started to funnel (ie with the sides remaining), simply blow out the candle and make the top surface level again. You can do this by gently bending the sides into the melted wax pool if it is not too bad. Alternatively with a hairdryer or by trimming.
