We are a family run beekeeping business based in Sheffield & Rotherham. We are passionate about bees and the amazing effect they have on the environment. We are expanding our Beekeeping to try and improve the quality of Bees in the local area, and also the number of pollinators in the local vicinity. We have set up our own breeding program to improve the quality and disease resistant strain of bees.
We have over 300 hives in South Yorkshire & Derbyshire. We are ethical beekeepers, and look after our bees well. During the winter months, we ensure that the bees have enough honey stores to survive the winter, without feeding sugar syrup. We are putting the bees before any profit, unlike most large bee farming companies.
We also aim to introduce Hives to as many schools, raise awareness with children and hopefully find Beekeepers of tomorrow. Also check out our "More Bees Please" page for more information about our plan to spread hives around Yorkshire with the help of as many businesses as possible.
Our Honey is unpasteurised and filtered to the absolute minimum, to ensure you get the natural Honey how the bees intended. This is something that you don't get from shop bought Honey. We also sell other natural products from the hive, including Cut Comb Honey, Creamed Honey, Beeswax Polishes and a full range of Beauty & Pet Products.
Description
Each candle contains 100% Pure Beeswax and retains its wonderful honey-like scent profile. Our wax is naturally filtered and contains no nasty chemicals!
Our wicks are made with Pure cotton coated in Natural Wax – once again without the use of chemicals or anything unnatural in the process whatsoever.
The estimated burn time for these candles is roughly 30 minutes per 5cm in length, meaning our 5cm candles will burn for 30 minutes, 10cm for 60 minutes and 20cm for 120 minutes.
For those new to Beeswax Candles, here are some benefits of Beeswax candles above standard Paraffin-based alternatives which have led to them being a popular choice for Centuries:
– When burnt, Beeswax releases ‘negative ions’ – these magnetically attract positively charged particles in the air, such as dust & pollen, leaving a cleaner breathing environment.
– Paraffin wax on the other hand is derived from crude oil, which when burnt acts as a pollutant, with some studies linking it to increased risk of certain cancers.
– Gram for Gram, Beeswax burns significantly longer than Paraffin wax due to its higher energy density.
– Sourced from sustainable hives, Beeswax is eco-friendly and makes up a healthy part of the ecosystem
– Per kilogram, Bees collectively travel 310,000 miles to produce their wax. As each tea light burns, spare a thought for the Theoretical Super-Bee who would have to travel at over 900mph to produce the wax for the candle as it burns!
Various Designs – PLEASE REMOVE ALL DECORATIVE ITEMS BEFORE BURNING 🔥
IMPORTANT – SAFETY: These candles MUST be burned in Fire-Resistant candle holders and MUST be supervised at all times. NEVER leave candles unattended.
These candles measure 21cm in height, 6cm in weight.
