Beeswax Candles

Beeswax is a natural product produced by worker honey bees from special glands and molded through the use of their mouthparts, into comb. Comb is pure beeswax cells that are hexagonal in shape.

Why Are Beeswax Candles So Expensive?

It is estimated that bees must fly 150,000 miles to produce one pound of wax. Bees must eat about six pounds of honey to secrete a pound of wax. For every 100 pounds of honey a beekeeper harvests, only one to two pounds of beeswax is produced…

Beeswax has been used for hundreds of years. It has actually been brought out from shipwrecks after decades under salt water in good condition. With the proper wicking, beeswax burns very slowly and has a natural and very fragrant aroma. Candles that are at least 51% beeswax are still used in some churches particularly the Roman Catholic Church. The wax serves as a symbol of purity and the Virgin Mary because of its origin from the worker honey bee. In addition, the volatilized beeswax coated and helped protect the church’s paintings. These two qualities make beeswax candles truly unique and superior.

Candles purchased from Cross Creek Honey Co. are 100% pure Florida beeswax, and each candle is hand-poured by Nancy Gentry.
