These exquisite Skep Beeswax candles have been hand crafted and individually poured to create these beautiful, natural candles.
Beeswax burns with a bright smokeless flame with a pleasant natural aroma.
The skep candle with its three flying bees is 5 cm tall, 5 cm wide and weighs 55g, it is made from 100 % beeswax with cotton wick.
Before the Victorian Era bees were kept in straw skeps. Skeps are essentially upturned straw baskets under which bees form their naturally curvy honey comb.
All candles should be placed on suitable surfaces before lighting and never leave burning candles unattended.
Trim the Wick: Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6-7 mm). This helps control the flame size, reduces soot, and ensures the candle burns more efficiently. Long wicks can cause the candle to burn too hot, leading to uneven melting or flickering.
