Beeswax Candle Prices

The prices of candles vary depending on the store, the season, and the supposed higher end materials. Beeswax candle prices are known to be on the more expensive side, but keep in mind that beeswax candles burn up to five times longer than other types of wax.

Beeswax can be used in many ways making it an ideal material for candles. When a beeswax candle is referred to as rolled, it means the candle is made from a rolled beeswax sheet. These candles have a honeycomb texture on the outside. The term solid poured means the beeswax was melted and set into a mold. These candles have the same smooth look of wax. The burn time for solid poured beeswax candles is longer than rolled. All beeswax candles offer a mild natural honey fragrance when burned.
The three companies compared vary slightly, depending on the type of beeswax candle. The beeswax candle price will be rated on best price, worst price, and average price. None of the prices discussed include tax or shipping rates.

Taper beeswax candles are tall and thin, with about 7/8 inch base. They give any dining table a refined beauty and will last from appetizers through dessert. The burn rate for solid poured beeswax tapers is about one hour per inch in height. All natural beeswax candles will not drip as long as there is no draft, giving theses elegant candles even more appeal. Taper candles are commonly purchased in pairs and are in the average price range of fewer than ten dollars.

The Candle Bee Farm makes all natural handmade beeswax taper candles; the colored tapers have added dye. Their beeswax candle prices are very reasonable and why The Candle Bee Farm is given the best price for taper candles.

Beeswax candles with a thicker width are referred to as pillar or column. These candles can be rolled or solid poured and both last significantly longer than taper candles. Pillar beeswax candles add a decorative element to any room. Different sized pillars can be grouped together for a nice display.

They have a large selection of solid poured and hand rolled pillar candles. They come in only the natural color. The burn rates are not given for these candles.

The natural golden color and pure product materials may be something that is important to you, so the higher beeswax candle price may seem worth it. If you are more interested in the colors of the beeswax candles, then some of the companies may not appeal to you at all. All beeswax candles have an organic look and offer a sweet honey smell that makes any room feel warm and comfortable.
