These delightful beeswax candles are very high end and smell naturally delightful for that perfect aromatic and theraputic touch. Lee's Bees premium beeswax candles are crafted from the nectar of flowers by robust honeybees. This pure beeswax is triple filtered, has no added scents or colors, and emits a sweet, subtle, honey like fragrance. All beeswax candles are 100% natural, and free of paraffin and other toxins, and will burn soot free and dripless if kept out of major drafts. They burn with a steady, healthy sized flame that radiates a spectrum of light that matches the sun.

Benefits Of Beeswax Candles:
Low quality paraffin candles can contain additives and chemicals, which some people would rather avoid burning! Paraffin candles are a by-product of petroleum – a fossil fuel and pollutant. Some candles may also contain waste products from animal fats – and for those keen to avoid releasing potentially harmful chemicals and soot into the air, scented candles are the worst possible option. The black soot from cheap candles can be an irritant that is harmful when inhaled – whereas beeswax produces no soot or chemicals and actually acts as an air purifier.

It’s claimed that pure beeswax, when burned, releases negative ions that improve the quality of the air and are thus very suitable for people who suffer from allergies and hay fever. No other fuel produces these beneficial negative ions when burned.

Lee's Bees Candles:
Beeswax candles have an instantly recognizable scent – a subtle and deliciously sweet honey-like perfume that induces an instant feeling of calm and wellbeing. There is no need to add synthetic oils or fragrances, as beeswax candles by themselves are a wonderful form of aromatherapy. Many people also love the appearance of beeswax candles, the warm, natural color and clear flame. Beeswax burns with a much brighter flame than other candles – giving a good, steady source of light. They will not sputter or flicker if they have a good quality wick.

Did You Know?
The Romans demanded bees wax when they conquered the city of Trebizond in the first century AD. In Medieval European times wax was a a unit of trade for taxes or other. In 1330 farmers in one region of France paid 2 lbs of bees wax per year. On 1632 records show that the French Monastery called for rent of 600 lbs. of bees wax per year. Also in 1371 a petition was presented to the London Court of Alderman in behalf of the Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers, which established them as the world’s oldest English Guild. In 1483 the company received a Royal Charter with authority to oversee the craft of wax chandlery. And when faults were found to punish the offender, which included seizing the wax.

Candles of bees wax were at one time required by the Roman Catholic Church as the exclusive and only candles. The bees were brought to Puerto Rico by the church and the early priests and conquistadors. These same bees although dwarfed in comparison to the original bees are still habiting the island today. Today bee’s wax is sometimes used in Automobile waxes but normally it is most used in furniture wax and polishes. You can make your own wax very easily, my ancestors did on the plantation on Cape Cod. First you need a couple of pots to boil in and a pot of hot water. Liquid Beeswax furniture polish is simple, use one quarter cup of ivory soap, one quarter pound of beeswax, 1 cup of turpentine and half a cup of water. Dissolve the soap in hot water, put the shaved wax into the turpentine and then slowly melt together, then pour the soap mixture into the mix and stir with a wooden spoon, once well stirred pour it into a glass jar and you have it, very easy. Bees wax cream furniture polish which can also be used on cars with lessened amount of turpentine is made by using and mixing quarter lb of beeswax, 2 cups of turpentine, quarter cup of liquid Ivory soap, 1 cup of warm to boiling water and quarter cup of pine oil. The only difference it you have to make sure all the beeswax is dissolved first and cool then mix it into the warm soapy water until it congeals and then reheat together and dissolve. If you reduce the turpentine content you can use it on your car too. It goes on smooth and it works good. Although, I am partial to Carnauba wax for cars for it’s ease of use, but from a realistic standpoint of protection the carnauba only lasts three months while the beeswax melt might last slightly longer.
