The beeswax candles are currently at the very top in the candles world. These candles are really expensive, but there are good reasons for that. And it is great to know that you will hardly find a candle that is as clean as beeswax candle.

The main competitors to quality beeswax candles on the market today are gel candles, paraffin candles and soy wax candles. The competition is not as expensive, but then again, it has a lower quality too.

Commercial bee farmers are collecting the wax from the bee hives, and this wax is what we use to make beeswax candles. This beeswax is processed and purified to prepare it for the process of beeswax candle making. The purification process includes heating the wax in hot water.

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.

With beeswax candles there is very little wax dripping.

And it is because of these characteristic that the candles are very welcome in religious services. There are many institutions that use candles heavily, like Catholic Church does during their services. It would make a real mess if those candles were dripping a lot of wax.

To avoid that problem they mainly make use of beeswax candles that do not drip wax. You will not have to tolerate a lot of smoke from these candles, simply because they do not produce it. They are quite clean burning candles, to tell it in the other way. This characteristic makes them desirable candles to burn with children in the home and also generally to protect your family’s respiratory systems.

Bad candles will produce soot that will leave dark spots and your ceilings and walls or you will have a bad petroleum smell in your room if you have paraffin candles; but beeswas candles do not have these problems.

Even though the beeswax candles are more expensive due to the labor involved during the farming process, their benefits make them worth the additional expense.
