These beautiful, taper candles feature an elegant design that are perfect for parties, weddings, and romantic dinners. Hand dipping candles is an ancient craft that remains unaltered to this day. The rhythmic process of hand dipping a cotton wick into hot wax- slowly building layer upon layer- connects now with both the past and the present.
Each pair of Beeswax tapers is hand dipped more than 20 times. This arduous process requires the dipped wax to harden just enough between dips to make the perfect burning taper candle. All of our wicks are of the highest quality, made from 100% cotton and contain no lead or metals.
Alisha & Dane Jensen are the makers behind Busy Bees Candle Co, a small family run business in Grass Valley CA. Honeybees are disappearing at alarming rates, beekeepers around the world are beside themselves with worry and concern about their plight. If we lose these pollinators completely, there will be devastating consequences for humanity and the environment. We know the only way to save the bees is to create a big BUZZ about what’s happening and to find creative ways to get people to care.
This very concept has become the foundation of Busy Bees Candle Company. All of their beeswax is locally sourced from ethically minded beekeepers. With each purchase of one of their candles, you're helping to save the bees. You’re supporting the American beekeepers at the frontlines of the fight for honeybee survival by using all of their products. Together, we are making a difference!
Crafted from 100% pure, locally sourced beeswax, their candles provide long burning, smokeless illumination with a subtle, natural scent which evokes the earthy, yet sweet smell of honey. Beeswax is the purest and most natural of all waxes. Unlike paraffin candles, Beeswax is hypo-allergenic, great for people with allergies or other sensitivities, and for those of us who want a clean burning candle in our home.
