Why Beeswax?
Beeswax is the only wax that naturally purifies the air. As it burns, it releases subtle negative ions that bind to airborne pollutants such as dust, pollen, pet dander and toxins; helping them fall from the air and creating a cleaner environment.
This process is entirely natural and made possible by the bees themselves, who infuse the wax with their enzymatic work, intention, and tireless devotion.

How to Use A Taper Candle
Taper candles are meant to stand vertically in their holders before lighting.
Never light a taper candle that is leaning, or has not been secured to a candlestick, candelabra, or sconce.
Secure your taper into the appropriate size holder (about 7/8 inch or 22mm) by using a lighter to melt and drip some wax at the base of the taper into the holder it is meant to stand in. Immediately press and twist the melted base into the wax at the bottom of the holder, and hold down the candle for 5-10 seconds in a vertical position. As the wax cools, it will bind the taper to the holder. This ensures your candle is more secure and ready to light.
Candle Safety
Never ignite a taper candle that has not been secured to the holder.
Never let a taper candle burn to non-existence. Always extinguish, and discontinue use when there is only one inch of wax remaining.
Burn in a calm, well-ventilated space and never leave unattended.
Keep away from children, pets and anything flammable.
Place the burning candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting.
When extinguishing, gently snuff the flame or dip the wick into the wax using a heat-safe tool, then straighten the wick upright for the next use.
Beeswax burns significantly hotter than other waxes. avoid touching the melted wax or wick directly.
Keep away from drafts, vents, and open windows to ensure an even, and safe burn.
Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Extinguish and allow it to cool before relighting.
Never move a candle while it’s lit or while the wax is hot.
Extinguish the flame gently. Do not use water to put out the candle.
Use only as intended.
A Note of Reverence
Each candle is made possible by the devoted labour of bees; ancient pollinators whose work sustains ecosystems and life itself.
Our beeswax is gathered with respect, sourced ethically in BC, Canada, and hand-poured with intention and gratitude to honour their essential role.
