100% Pure Beeswax Pillar Candles, Clean Burning, Non Toxic, with Natural Honey Scent

100% Pure Beeswax Pillar Candles, by The Gilded Bee

A clean burn to light your home, made by hand, packed with care. Beeswax candles continue to make the perfect gift for a few simple reasons: they burn bright, they last quite a long time, and in addition to burning cleaner than any other wax, they emit a lovely honey scent. The ideal addition to any home for that rustic, farmhouse/cottagecore touch. You don't need some mass-produced factory candle, full of dye and toxic additives with garish, overpowering scents; keep it simple, keep it natural, keep it sustainable. Your wellness matters: adding a handmade beeswax candle to your home, or the home of someone you love, is simple.

Each pillar is 3 inches wide, and vary in height. Refer to our photos for their respective approximate burn times.

We only use square braid cotton wick for our pillars; they do not contain any metal of any kind.

We use wax from a small, family-owned farm that treat their bees with care and respect. The photos you see in our listings for all beeswax candles are from the farm. This is as close to a farm-to-table experience as you can get without driving to the farm yourself. Harvested by them, shaped by us, shipped to you. It's a sustainable, eco friendly practice with the health of our environment in mind.


Each set comes packed in an embossed box, or boxes, depending on the number of candles. An extra layer of protection, an extra touch to make the perfect gift that much more special.



Always burn your candles on a fireproof surface, and do not leave them unattended.

Keep your wick trimmed to 1/4" between burns.

For each burning session, let the wax pool reach the edge of the candle; blowing out the candle before the pool has reached the edge will cause the candle to tunnel. When the wax has cooled a little, hug the sides in toward the wick; they'll melt and fuel the flame next time.

Beeswax candles do not produce soot like paraffin candles, and have natural air purifying qualities. They burn for a long time, they retain their scent, and are made from pure, 100% natural ingredients. They just require a little more care; sounds like a good tradeoff to us.

Do not burn your candle in a container, such as a hurricane glass. Doing so can build up too much heat, and cause the candle to fall apart with continued use.

Burn your candle in a room that isn't drafty, or with any open windows or running fans. Interference from those sources can cause the candle to burn irregularly.
