Beeswax Candles Wholesale

Candles provide light, warmth, and add decorative charm to a room. Although many people buy candles for their flowery scent or their bright, beautiful colors, other people are more concerned with a return to nature. Bees do not only give consumers honey, but they also provide people with their beeswax, which can be used to make candles.
Beeswax candles date back to the early Egyptians, who would make a beeswax candle for nobility and pharaohs. The pure beeswax candles have advantages over others. The honey-scented candles burn cleanly, with little or no drip. The flame of the candle gives off a warm-toned light in a bright yellow hue. Also, a beeswax candle has no sputtering and very little smoke. In both the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, a beeswax candle is preferred during a ceremony. The most important candle used during the liturgical year, the Paschal candle, is recommended to be made from beeswax.
The simplest form of the beeswax candle is easy and fun to make. In order to make a beeswax candle at home, the only equipment a person needs is a sheet of beeswax, scissors and a wick. The process requires no heating. First, the person cuts the sheet of beeswax in half and cuts the wick so that it is half and inch longer than the sheet on either side. Then the person puts the wick on the edge of the beeswax sheet and rolls it over the wick. The wax needs to be the tightest around the wick and again when it nears the end of the sheet. To seal the candle, a person uses his body heat to mold it closed with his fingers. Finally, to finish the candle, the person trims the wick on one end so that it is flush with the bottom of the beeswax and on the other end so that it extends a quarter of an inch from the top of the candle.
