Mini Christmas tree – beeswax candle

Properties of beeswax wax and candles

Beeswax has different colours and shades. They’re depended on the time and method of obtaining, it may be in colour from sunny yellow to light brown – light is “virgin” wax in which young bees were not raised.  Darker one comes from frames that have been used for longer and contains natural additives such as propolis. Over time and under the influence of sunlight, the wax changes its surface colour to a lighter one, which is a natural process. The appearing white coating can be neutralized by gently greasing the candle

• The most important advantage of candles made of real, natural wax is that they simply smell beautiful!
• When burning, they emit a friendly, soothing aroma with notes of honey and propolis
• The flame does not smoke, but burns with a warm, clean fire
• They help freshen the air and get rid of unpleasant odours, e.g. of tobacco
• The flame, natural scent and beautiful appearance make the candle help create a cosy home atmosphere
• They often serve as a natural element of interior design

Rules for burning wax candles

• The candle should burn until the wax melts over the entire surface; in the case of thicker candles it is about 2-3 hours;
• Burning too short causes the candle to tunnel
• Wick should be regularly shortened so that its length is approximately 5-15 mm depending on its diameter
• Increasing the burning time can be achieved by cooling the candle in the refrigerator
