Our company has been in the beeswax business since 1959 and the bees have taught us a lot about what they do with their day. They have also shared with us some of their efforts, and we continue to learn from them as the years go on. In 1984, we expanded our product line to include paraffin waxes and continued to grow from there. Today we carry 25 different kinds of paraffin and microcrystalline wa

xes, 4 different soy waxes, and other palm oil based products. And for the specialists out there, we even carry Carnauba to give you that high depth hard shine! Try our physiotherapy wax for great relief. We also have a large variety of wicks, scents, and molds to help you make the perfect candle

CANDLE DYE | What's the difference between Dye Chips and Liquid Candle Dye?
Both candle dye forms achieve vibrant and consistent results, however they do have different pros and cons.
🔹Candle Dye Chips can be cut into halves or quarters for precise recipes, or even shaved into small pieces for very light colours.
💧Liquid Candle Dye can be used for special effects by dripping into melted wax, but can be more messy.
Which do you prefer?

TERMINOLOGY | Candle Types: Tealight, Votive, Pillar, Container, Taper
🕯
TEALIGHT: Small discs about 1.5" wide by 0.75" high, generally sold in aluminum or polycarbonate cups, with a 4-6 hour burn time
🕯
VOTIVE: Small, cylindrical or slightly tapered candles, typically 1.5" by 2-3" high. Larger than tealights, they usually melt completely into a liquid state while burning, requiring a container. Burn times generally last 10–15 hours.
🕯
PILLAR: Sturdy, thick, freestanding candles in a variety of sizes that do not require a container, though they should be placed on a heat-resistant plate or holder.
🕯
CONTAINER: Candles are made by pouring the wax directly into a vessel. The container—usually glass, ceramic, or metal—acts as the mold.
🕯
TAPER: Made by hand dipping or with a mold, long slender candles commonly 7/8" wide by 6"-18" high, that narrow towards the top. Burned in candle holders as they cannot stand on their own.

April to June is Swarming Season for bees
🐝 Swarming is the natural process by which a honey bee colony splits into two, which is a form of reproduction
🐝 If you are near a swarm, remain calm - bees are generally more docile than aggressive when swarming
🐝 Please don't call an exterminator if you find a bee swarm. Call a beekeeper!
🐝 Your neighbourhood may have a bee keeping association - a quick search for 'your city' and 'bee swarm' should help you to find someone that will happily buzz right over. They may even gift you some honey as a thank you 🍯
