Naturally clean-burning, beeswax produces minimal smoke and no synthetic fragrances, making these skep candles a healthier alternative to soya and paraffin options. As they burn, they release a subtle, honeyed aroma straight from the hive—soft enough for everyday use, yet rich enough to create an inviting atmosphere.
Their classic skep shape adds quiet character to shelves, tables, and seasonal displays, making them ideal for layering with other candles or enjoying as a simple standalone accent. Practical in size yet full of charm, they suit both decorative styling and mindful moments of relaxation.
Crafted using sustainably sourced beeswax and a natural cotton wick, each candle reflects Buzzing Meadows Farm’s commitment to traditional methods, environmental care, and thoughtful design.
Bring a touch of beekeeping heritage and natural light into your space—choose the Beeswax Skep Candle and enjoy simplicity, sustainability, and warmth in perfect balance.

You may notice a light white or cloudy film developing on the surface of your beeswax candle over time. This is known as bloom.
Bloom is a completely natural process and a sign of pure, high-quality beeswax. It occurs when natural wax crystals rise to the surface and does not affect how the candle burns.
If you prefer a polished look, bloom can be gently removed by:
Lightly buffing with a soft cloth
Briefly warming the surface with your hands
Many people choose to leave bloom as it is — a quiet mark of authenticity.

To enjoy your beeswax candle safely and to get the best burn:
Trim the wick to approximately 5–7 mm before each burn
Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface
Keep away from draughts for an even, steady flame
Allow the first burn to melt fully across the top to prevent tunnelling
Never leave a burning candle unattended
Keep out of reach of children and pets
Snuff the flame gently rather than blowing it out
With proper care, beeswax candles burn slowly, cleanly, and beautifully.
