It’s that time of year when it’s once again pleasant to venture out of doors and have supper on the deck. If you haven’t yet tried the beeswax citronella candles from Big Dipper Wax Works, now’s a good time.
Beeswax is the least processed form of candle wax, a renewable resource, and the product of beekeeping. It burns soot-free, and some believe that it purifies the surrounding air. Its high melting point (158 degrees, as opposed to 130-150 degrees for paraffin candles) means a longer burning time.
Big Dipper Wax Works sources most of its beeswax from beekeepers in the United States and Canada and abides by a set of quality standards. The beeswax is filtered in a simple process, with no chemicals and very little energy consumption. In addition, ten percent of profits is donated to organizations dedicated to outreach and education to promote sustainable beekeeping and environmental conservation.
