Natural beeswax is an extraordinary material to work with. It naturally occurs in different colours - ranging from creamy white, through to pink, orange, bright yellow and dark brown depending on the flowers the bees have been foraging and, to some extent, how the beekeeper has handled the wax. It is also beautifully translucent.

Being a natural product, it is a little different to work with every day. To me, this is one of the delights of the being a beeswax candle-maker... no two days are the same! What does stay the same - due to years of research, development, trial and error - is:

• beeswax candles will always have a superior burn to a paraffin, soy or palm wax candle because beeswax has the highest melting point of any wax known to mankind and therefore when a beeswax candle is properly made (and not burned in a breeze), it will not drip everywhere or drown its wick
• a Queen B beeswax candle will always burn for longer than a comparably sized paraffin, soy or palm wax candle
• a Queen B beeswax candle will always have a more golden flame than a paraffin, soy or palm wax candle (because our wax is not bleached with chemicals)

A Queen B beeswax candle made with 100% pure Australian beeswax and pure cotton wick will also always be a natural alternative to paraffin (a petrochemical by-product) and soy or palm wax (which are both hydrogenated oils).

When burned correctly your Queen B candle will not smoke or drip, and our wicks, will not disintegrate or drown in their own wax. You can find out more by going to Tips for Better Burning.

A beeswax candle is also said to be a natural ioniser when it is burning, purifying your air of dust, pollen, odours, toxins, mould and mildew whilst leaving a light, natural honey scent.

By purchasing Queen B candles, not only are you getting a fabulous gift for yourself or someone special, but you are also giving on many other levels - to your health (by purifying the air you breath), to the environment (no toxic smoke), to regional Australia (supporting beekeepers and their communities) and to a talented community of artisans (who assist with the making of Queen B candles).
