A little garden you can light. Our Bees and Flowers Pillar Candle is wrapped all the way around in raised blossoms, with tiny bees tucked in between, busy at work like they're out on a sunny morning. Hand-poured in pure beeswax by us, the beekeepers based in Montreal (fitting, since real bees made the wax).

It's a sweet size for a bedside table, a bathroom shelf or a cozy reading corner, and a lovely gift for anyone who loves their garden, their bees or simply a good candle. Lit, it glows warm and golden with a soft honey scent.

Why real bees make a better candle: Beeswax melts at a higher temperature than soy wax, so this 144 g pillar burns more slowly and lasts longer. Its flame is brighter, with that warm golden glow, and it carries the soft scent of honey, something soy wax doesn't have on its own.

What is the Bees and Flowers Pillar candle made of?

100% pure beeswax. That's the whole list. No paraffin, no added fragrance, no dyes. The golden colour and the soft honey scent come straight from the hive.

What is the white dust on my beeswax candle?

It's called bloom. Pure beeswax naturally grows a thin, whitish haze over time, especially somewhere cool. It's harmless, and it's actually a sign you've got the real thing. To bring back the shine, gently buff the candle with a soft cloth, or warm it for a few seconds with a hair dryer on low until the haze melts away. Bloom can come back, and you can repeat this as often as you like. (Some people love the vintage look and leave it!)

Will my candle look exactly like the photo?

Not exactly, and that's part of the charm. Each candle is poured by hand in small batches, and beeswax is famously temperamental. Tiny bubbles, small marks, slight colour differences or little imperfections can happen, so your candle may look a little different from the one in the photo.

How do I burn the Bees and Flowers Pillar candle safely?

On the first burn, let it burn long enough for the melted wax to reach close to the edge, so it burns evenly afterwards. Trim the wick to about 6 mm before each lighting. Burn on a heat-safe plate, away from drafts, and never leave a lit candle unattended or within reach of children and pets.

Where are your beeswax candles made?

Right here in Montreal, Quebec. We're the beekeepers behind Mielbrut, and we pour every candle by hand in small batches. You'll also find our candles and honey at Christmas markets around Montreal.
