Making Beeswax Candles

Booklet. 12 pages, soft cover.

The aim of this booklet is to encourage beekeepers especially, to make use of their beeswax. I hope it will also inspire those who don’t keep bees to source beeswax from their local beekeepers and enjoy using it.

Beeswax makes wonderful candles. There is more to candle making than can be covered in 12 short pages, but this booklet explains the basics and outlines different methods of making candles using beeswax: rolled sheets; dipped; moulded; teacup and tea light candles.
