Light it up.
Recreate the flickering glow of a fireplace with four round beeswax pillar candles, each one emanating a natural amber hue. Every candle in the set is a different size, giving them a sculptural feel when clustered together. They're a lovely way to light a dinner party—and just so happen to make an excellent hosting gift, too.

When these small scale beekeepers in Wisconsin aren't making artisanal raw honey, they're pouring the sweet stuff into their own line of natural body products and home goods. The other ingredients, like oils and scents, are all sourced sustainably, and whenever possible, locally. We can't help but be abuzz with telling everyone how great they are.

A little disappointed
I love pure beeswax candles and have a couple of brands I typically stick with but with the pandemic, I couldn’t get to the stores that carry them so I ordered these. In comparison to the ones I typically get, they had a funny hemp-like smell and they burned down much faster. They have a rustic look, which is nice if that’s what you are going for.
So Beeswaxy!
Perfect beeswax candles. They smell a little bit like honey, just like they should. Be sure to put them in an area that will not be damaged by dripping wax, mine dripped.
