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.
• Using beeswax candles is good for your health, good for Australian beekeepers, good for the regional communities they live in, good for farmers who rely on bees for pollination, good for national parks and state forests, good for the environment, good for artisan skills, good for Australian jobs and because of all of that, good for you!

features:

• Pack of ten.
• Slender and long taper candles.
• Made with purified Australian beeswax and a pure cotton wick.
• Due to the narrow width of these candles they have no minimum burn time. You can burn them for as long or as short a period as you would like.
• Great for yoga, meditation, a relaxing bath, dinner, bedtime story or any activity that goes for less than a couple of hours.
• Designed to fit all of the black label candle holders (or simply pop them in a bowl or jar of sand).
• High-quality.
• 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:

• ANY taper will drip in a breeze. Putting a candle into a glass vessel multiplies the light emitted by the candle many times over and will protect the flame.
• 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 candle, it is best to extinguish by 'dunking' the wick into its own pool of wax use the end of any poker type object 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!
