ABOUT BEES / BEESWAX

Mother Nature does a remarkable job of supplying consistency in the world around us, but natural variations can make the sky, water, earth, plants, animals, and even humans more beautiful.

Bees follow an impressively precise process when making beeswax, but the natural variants in the plants and flowers around them means no two batches look the same. The colour variants are introduced into the beeswax as honeybees mix wax with pollen, a touch of honey, enzymes and something called propolis, which derives from a resin made of bark, leaf buds and other plant pieces. The mixture is what gives beeswax its hearty, sticky structure and natural beeswax candles their delightful honey colour (and smell!). The variants in the colour reflect the makeup of the pollen, honey, and propolis in that moment.

We get our hands on raw beeswax from our favourite British beekeepers, the colours can vary greatly—from dark brown to buttercup yellow. We temper those variations by carefully selecting the blocks we melt together and by filtering the beeswax (down to the size of a grain of pollen), siphoning off impurities as we go.

This process creates a relatively uniform colour, but variants between batches will still occur.

The same is true for how natural beeswax candles smell. The scent varies depending on the types of pollen and plant materials the honeybees access on a particular day. You can expect a warm, comforting honey scent each time, but the exact scent and its natural undertones may vary. It’s those tiny little variants that give natural beeswax candles a unique and treasured advantage over other candles .

Made from the honeycomb of the honeybee, beeswax is the purest and most natural of all waxes. For each pound of beeswax provided by a honey bee, the bee visits over 30 million flowers. They secrete the beeswax from the underside of their abdomens, and then use the wax to construct a honeycomb.

Beeswax is a food grade wax with a white colour when it is freshly prepared. Later the colour changes into yellow because of the presence of propolis and pollen colourants. The typical odour of beeswax depends on the honey, bees, propolis, and pollen.

Beeswax has a very rich history, with a far wider range of uses than any other bee product. In the past, beeswax was especially valued for candles, because it has a higher melting point than many other waxes, and so the candles remain upright in hot weather.
