Beeswax Birthday Candles | 30min Burn Time
Regular price $14.95 Save $-14.95Dimensions:
H: ~ 12 cm
W: ~ 0.6 - 0.7cm
Burn time: 45 mins - 1 hour each
Material: Queen B's 100% pure Australian beeswax
Wick: Pure Cotton
Queen B's unique, dipped beeswax Birthday Candles are so divine you won't want to blow them out! Happily they burn for more than 30 minutes - so they'll last for many birthday parties!
Also perfect for lighting for a bath, kids dinner, bedtime story, meditation, yoga or any other shorter spiritual practice.
A tealight candle should be burned in one sitting.
We know that with the price of beeswax candles being more than their toxic cousins, many of our customers would prefer to burn tealights over a couple of evenings, so… here’s the rub… (you may need a coffee)!
A tealight candle has a wick that is held up by a metal ‘sustainer’. That sustainer has a 3mm neck holding the wick upright.
If you burn your tealight candle down so that there is say 4 – 5mm of wax remaining in the bottom of the cup, that means there is only 1 – 2mm of unburnt wick sticking out the top of the metal sustainer neck. That is not enough wick to burn out to the edge and consume all of the beeswax remaining in the cup.
So, if you want to burn your tealights over multiple sessions please ensure there is a MINIMUM of 6mm of beeswax in the bottom of the tealight cup (that’s around ½ the height of the 4-5hour tealight cup and just over 1/3 of the height of the 8-9hour tealight cup).
If you play your cards right, this should mean that you can get a couple of nights out of a 4 – 5 hour tealight and 3 evenings out of an 8 – 9 hour tealight. BOOM!
Beeswax block - 100g
Regular price $19.95 Save $-19.95Bees (and beekeepers) consider wax to be clean if it is free from dead insects. However, a beeswax candle will only burn properly if the wax is also free from dust/dirt.
Considering beehives sit in dusty fields, the wax from beekeepers always has a lot of dust in it. All the wax used in Queen B candles (and the wax we sell) is triple distilled/clarified... melted, washed in boiling water, allowed to settle (whilst molten) for 22 hours and then filtered through a 300 micron filter!
You get to benefit from our 12 years of experience in beeswax candle-making.
Beeswax blocks are also commonly used to make lip balms, wax the mouthpiece of a didgeridoo, on dreadlocks, irons and to make draws run smoothly... if you have another interesting use, let us know!

Made by Us and Made by Hand - we're control freaks at Queen B. We hand make every single candle and wrap we sell in our purpose fitout hive here on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
The next 2 largest brands in Australia outsource everything - their fabric is imported and sent directly to another company who wax it and sent to another for cutting and packing. How on earth can you guarantee the quality of your product if you don't even make it?
And then there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of wraps made in a home garage or kitchen. Are you really going to risk wrapping your food in that?

Usability - before we launch any product at Queen B we ask ourselves whether the world needs our version of that product?
In the case of beeswax candles it was a resounding yes as beeswax candles had stopped being made professionally many decades prior due to the price of beeswax. All the beeswax candles we came across looked dirty, didn't burn properly and were inconsistent.
In the case of beeswax lip balm, the answer was no... there are already great products on the market that we use ourselves.
In the case of beeswax wraps the answer was again a resounding YES! All of the wraps on the market that we tested were either too brittle (so you couldn't get a seal with the warmth of your hands); had too much beeswax in the mix (causing them to crack when unwrapping things straight out of the fridge) and/or were just downright ugly. The world most definitely needed wraps that were fit for purpose... malleable, easy to seal, not too tacky, not too dry, not too stiff and most definitely not ugly!
Proprietary Methods - Our methods of cleaning beeswax (using only water, filtration and time) are proprietary and carefully guarded. Our decades of working with beeswax have also taught us exactly how to respect and work with this extraordinary material and our hive dedicates almost 500 square metres to this pursuit.
Queen B is no backyard or kitchen table business... we take our commitment to your health and wellbeing seriously and hand make products with that in mind!
