Queen B Hand Rolled Honeycomb Beeswax Narrow Pillar Candle - 10cm/30hr Burn Time

you are making a difference:

• Most candles are made from paraffin (a petrochemical and polluting resource). Queen B are free from petroleum products and chemicals, so all you breathe in is pure, natural vapour.
• Queen B uses only pure Australian beeswax - the highest quality in the world.
• Australian bees and bee keepers need lots of support to keep them pollinating.

features:

• Hand rolled beeswax pillar candle.
• Honeycomb finish.
• Designed to burn down without the outside beeswax wrap.
• Long +/-30 hr total burn time, and best suited to 3+ hrs burning sessions.
• High-quality beeswax.
• Slow burning; burns up to 30 times slower than paraffin.
• Purifying; a beeswax candle is a natural ioniser, eliminating pollutants, germs, viruses, aromas in the air.
• Gently aromatic with a natural light honey aroma when burning (they smell divine!).

tips for the life of your candle:

• Putting a candle into a glass vessel multiplies the light emitted by the candle many times over.
• Curved glass (like a fishbowl) will achieve a better result than straight sided glass because the flame is reflected from many angles. Any glass is better than no glass!
• Always allow your candle to burn to the outside edge. As some sage physicist said at some stage in the past “if you don’t allow your candle to burn out to the edge, it won’t burn out to the edge.”
• When putting out a pillar candle, use the end of any poker type object (we use the bottom of a pen) to dunk the wick into the molten wax pool and then ensure you lift it out again and re-centre the wick. This stops the wick from smoking (and keeps the wick strong).
• Before you relight a pillar candle, always trim the wick to 7mm or so (a little shorter than a centimeter)… if you dipped your wick to put the candle out, it will be coated with wax that has now gone cold so you should be able to trim the wick with your fingertips without getting soot on them!
• It is best to extinguish your Queen B candle by 'dunking' the wick into its own pool of wax using a pencil, chopstick or stick.

Queen B began as a simple hobby for company founder Cate Burton. She was trying to manage the stress of a high pressure corporate role.

The business officially opened in 2000 and has now sold over 2,000,000 candles. They still apply the same made-by-hand standards to all their products.
