Our Premium Beeswax candles are 100% pure with cotton braided wick and are lovingly hand poured in our studio in Grande Pointe. Some of the wax is from our own hives with the remainder from other local Manitoba apiarists. Our candles provide comfort, warmth and a sense of well-being.
Beeswax is one of the cleanest waxes, with the brightest flame, exuding a soft honey aroma with exceptional burn time. It is a sustainable, renewable resource. Beeswax emits negative ions which when burned can assist in cleaning the air of dust, mold, pollen, pet dander, smoke and odours.

Never leave a burning candle unattended, near children or pets. Always burn in a draft free room on a heat safe plate or surface. Trim the wick before each burn. As the candle burns down, gently thumb the edges inwards in order to contain the wax pool. When extinguishing, press the wick into the melt pool or use a candle snuffer.
When you see a whitish patina on you candle, no worries. This is called bloom and is the natural elevation of the minerals within the wax to the surface. It can be wiped away with any good quality lint free cloth, or give it a very quick blast with your hair dryer or heat gun.

Beeswax wrap care
Beeswax wraps have a shelf life of 10 months to a year. They are not to be used to wrap meat. Wash your wraps under cool soapy water, applying light pressure, then rinse with clean, cool water. If you use hot water, it will eventually remove the beeswax and reduce the life of your wrap. Air dry. Do not put in the dishwasher, microwave, oven or any other hot surface.
To use your wrap, you activate it with the warmth of your hands to help shape and seal around your container or the food itself. If covering a container, make sure that the container is not hot and that the wrap fits down past the edge.
