 Pure Beeswax Candles after 4 hours in the Sun. Picture taken August 13, 2005 in Lynchburg, Virginia |
SOLID BEESWAX CANDLES Beeswax! That enigmatic by-product from the production of honey -
honey being the premiere substance produced for our gastronomic delight. Beeswax is comprised of
over 300 compounds, some of which only a honey bee can synthesize. Also, beeswax has never
been successfully
reproduced in a chemical lab! Amazing! Besides just smelling wonderful and making the very best candle
possible, producing its own bloom and
lasting for many hours, beeswax has yet another amazing attribute. If we are to think about it for a
moment, we never see a picture of a beehive with melted wax pouring to the outside of the hive in the
summertime when it is hot. That is because natural beeswax has a higher melting point than
other candle waxes, because of the gums and resins the bee visits. Therefore, free-standing
beeswax is tolerant to heat.DO NOT BEND TO SUMMER HEAT |

.....The picture above shows an experiment we conducted on a sizzling hot August day
in Lynchburg, Virginia in the summer of 2005. You can try this at home, just be sure you secure the candle
in the holder of your choice, hopefully metal or glass. ..... We used a light colored wax, Cream, a medium colored wax, Sunset Orange, and a very dark wax, Night Horizon, because dark colors absorb more heat than light colors do, all of them thin tapers. The "pencil thin" is the tiny red candle to the right, while the Butterscotch wax in the middle back is the softest of the natural waxes. The candles were put in place at 9 AM when the temperature was already in the mid 90's. The picture shown was taken at 1 PM with the temperature well over 110°. (All temperatures are Fahrenheit.) You may enlarge the picture in order to see the thermometer. While beeswax is not impervious to heat (do not leave candles in your car with the windows rolled up in the summertime), you can be assured that your candles will consistently maintain their shape in your home. |
