The Preciousness of Beeswax Candles

Beeswax is a fatty substance secreted by 4 pairs of wax glands in the abdomen of the appropriate age worker bees in the colony. In a colony, worker bees use their own waxes to build combs, ovary covers and feed house covers. In layman's terms, beeswax is the wax secreted by bees. A worker bee secretes 1 pound of beeswax, needs to eat 10 pounds of honey, travel 240,000 kilometers, and collect honey from 3.3 billion flowers. Therefore beeswax production is very low. Each hive produces approximately 0.5 kg of beeswax per year. Therefore beeswax is very precious.

Candles made from beeswax began with the Tang Dynasty. Because beeswax is very rare and precious, only dignitaries use Beeswax Candles. Therefore, beeswax candles are called the nobility of candles. There are also a lot of verses describing candles in Tang poetry.

The raw materials used to make candles include paraffin wax, Soy Wax, palm wax, ghee wax and jelly wax. Only beeswax can be directly made into candles, only physical cleaning is required without any chemical treatment, and beeswax candles do not have any additives, making them the most environmentally friendly candles. 100% Pure Beeswax Candles also purify the air as they burn. Therefore, beeswax candles are called "nobles" in candles.
