one hand-dipped classic beeswax candle

Five Bees Yard crafts candles using 100% pure, raw beeswax extracted directly from their own hives. Since 2016, the company has been a pioneer in promoting an eco-conscious, plastic-free, and fully sustainable business model. Run by third-generation beekeepers, Five Bees Yard cares for over one million bees and produces chemical-, additive-, and dye-free beeswax candles in-house.

For awhile we debated bringing candles that were classics and that can also be found in other shops we ourselves already love. Finally, the decision of sourcing the Five Bees Yard candles was based on the fact that we wish to normalize using what is healthiest for our bodies and minds: pure beeswax candles! And there should be no more debate and no more paraffin-based alternatives! No more outdoor or indoor pollution!

This is a classic shape pure beeswax candle that has been hand-dipped. We love seeing that tiny drop from the final candle dip solidify at the bottom of the candle stick. There is something very personal in that touch. Each measures approximately 21 cm in length by 2 cm thick. Burn time is 8-9 hours per candle. This candle is shorter than our domnita candle that comes in other pigments.

Pure beeswax is not a single shade of yellow. Depending on where the pollen was collected and by which beehive, it will differ. That is why these come in a variety of shades, all pure.

No matter how fun and cozy candles may be, please practice fire safety, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
