Beeswax burns differently than any other wax, and changes composition depending on what the bees are pollinating from. No two candles will burn the same. They may burn unevenly, but that’s the nature of beeswax. If you follow our care instructions you’ll enjoy the full length of the candle!
1. Do not trim the wick before the first burn. It is pre-cut at the perfect length. However, please make sure it is straight/upright before lighting it.
2. Before the second burn, and every time after that, trim the wick to ¼”.
3. Burn the candle for at least 3½ hours each time. Beeswax burns at a very high temperature so it will be very hot in the center and can take a while for the heat of the wick to burn a larger perimeter. The more hours you burn your candle, the more it will open up and will eventually burn down the sides.
4. Do not blow out the candle to extinguish it. Instead use a metal tool to push the lit wick into the wax pool. This immediately extinguishes embers, and prevents smoke and soot from getting into the air.
5. After extinguishing the candle, return the wick upright.
6. Once the candle has cooled, place the lid on the candle

The candle is fragrance-free, but because it is made from 100% Beeswax, honey and scents from bee pollination will exist. Scents may vary based on what the bees used to pollinate.
Burn times vary due to the nature of Beeswax. The average burn time of the candle is 40 hours. This is a typical burn time for candles made out of Beeswax.
When burning a beeswax candle, it burns at a very high temperature so it will be very hot in the center and can take a while for the heat of the wick to burn a larger perimeter. The more hours you burn your candle, the more it will open up and will eventually burn down the sides.
