In the world of candles, beeswax candles are top of the line. They are also the most expensive candles for very good reason. In addition, beeswax candles are also some of the cleanest candle varieties.

There are three different candle competitors that beeswax candles are competing with: paraffin candles, soy candles and gel candles. The competition is not as expensive, but then again, it has a lower quality too.

Beeswax candles are made from wax collected from bee hives by commercial bee farmers. Then the beeswax is purified and prepared specially for the process of candles making. Heating the wax in a hot water is what a purification process is all about.

Beeswax candles come in many different shapes and forms and they also come in scented and unscented varieties. One of the reasons why beeswax candles are considered top-of-the-line is their burning characteristics. The difference is that some other candles do not emit such a powerful yellow color and burn with such warm flames.

If you use beeswax candles, you will see that there is only small amount of wax dripping.

This characteristic makes these candles very desirable for use in religious services. You know that many religious institutions use candles on a regular basis, during the services they have daily. Those candles would be a big problem if they were dripping their wax everywhere.

To avoid that problem they mainly make use of beeswax candles that do not drip wax. One more good news about beeswax candles is that they do not produce a lot of smoke. In other words, they are very clean burning candles. This characteristic makes them desirable candles to burn with children in the home and also generally to protect your family’s respiratory systems.

With these candles you won’t have such problems as bad petroleum smell that you usually get with paraffin candles and you won’t have problems with darks spots on your ceiling or your walls due to the soot.

These candles have a lot of benefits and this makes them a good buy, even if they are expensive due to a lot more labor involved in their farming process.
