WHEN YOU NEED A PERFECT GIFT
If you need a little something for someone, but you don't want to break the bank, this beehive glass & candle is it. This 4.2 ounce candle will burn bright for over 35 hours. It comes packaged in a sweet but sturdy cardboard tube and includes a 'Big Dipper' matchbook. Enjoy the natural, sweet, honey fragrance infused straight from the hive into the wax! Since it's bigger than a typical votive, you might want to consider the 4.2 oz refill and reuse your glass votive.
WHAT'S GOOD?
WHAT DOES IT REPLACE?
All other candles, especially those made with paraffin, a petroleum product. Most soy candles are mixed with paraffin, not this one. In the US, in order for the label to read Soy Candle, it only has to be 51% Soy. Same goes for Beeswax, be sure the label reads 100% pure beeswax.
BORING (BUT USEFUL) STUFF
Beeswax burns clean and purifies the air at the same time! In addition to supporting sustainable beekeeping, the consumption of beeswax candles is also good for the air we breathe. Unlike paraffin candles, which are made with a petroleum-based wax, beeswax candles have a completely clean non-toxic burn and produce negative ions when burning. About Negative Ions:
