Our natural beeswax candles are a wonderful alternative to paraffin and soy; beeswax burns brighter and cleaner. Beeswax is also said to emit negative ions when burned, which bond with positively charged ions of dirt, soot, and other airborne particulates—the effect is to act as a natural air cleaner.

These 100% beeswax pillar candles are 2" in diameter by 3" or 5" tall. Burn time is 45 hours for the 5-inch candle and 25 hours for the 3-inch height.

All of our beeswax candles are handmade in Watertown, MN.

How to Use the 2" Beeswax Pillar Candle

To make the most of your 2" Beeswax Pillar Candle, follow these tips for optimal performance:

Trim the Wick

Trim the Candle Wick

Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps maintain a steady flame, reduces soot buildup, and ensures a cleaner burn. Regular trimming not only enhances the candle's performance but also extends its life

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

To ensure your candle burns evenly and lasts longer, place it in a draft-free area. By minimizing drafts, you help the candle maintain a steady flame and prevent uneven melting.

Allow a Full Melt Pool

Allow a Full Melt Pool

During the first burn, let the candle burn long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the life of the candle.

I looked in many different places for beeswax candles but I found the best offer from Ames farm. I ordered four candles and they came in good time and Ames farm surprised me with a little bottle of honey! I appreciate the good service and excellent quality.

Soft glow and lovely faint smell of honey

I loved these candles and I plan on purchasing more! They smell like a little jar of honey, but it’s faint and doesn’t scent the room (which is perfect for me). Thanks Ames!
