One of the most versatile candles in our range are our Bee Light beeswax candles... skinny enough to light for a matter of minutes (for meditation, a bath or bedtime stories) and yet long enough and 'beeswaxy' enough to last for a fabulous 3.5 - 4 hrs. What's 'beeswaxy enough'?... it means that because they're 100% pure beeswax and beeswax has a very high melting point, they have a much longer burn time than their toxic cousins (and, of course, they don't smoke) :-)
While we have a stunning range of candleholders made right here in Australia for our Bee Light candles, there is also something quite lovely about making your own for free. I thought I'd share some of the best we've been sent...
A stunning look for a seaside wedding or event table centrepiece or even just to channel that feel in your own home... we could also do with a seaside escape from time to time.

Seriously, if you know of a scrap metal heap, make friend's with the owner pronto... they are an absolute treasure trove of DIY candleholders. You can relax knowing you're trendy right now with the industrial look and when that look goes out again, then be happy in the knowledge that you're marching to the beat of your own drum! And quite frankly, sustainability and recycling are going to be the 'new black' for decades to come.
Or, you could just leave it to us and we'll take care of it the holders for you!
Please send us your ideas for our next Bee Light candleholder post!
