Candles have had a great importance throughout the human being. Since the most remote times, wax candles of animal origin have been essential for men.

The relevance of natural candles is defined by their value within two areas. A purely functional component, that is, wax candles provide light to continue daily activities in the dark.

On the other hand, candles have a clearly spiritual component. Most cultures, most religions, have linked candles and smoke as a bridge between mortals and gods. The Catholic Church is no exception in this regard.

Candles are an instrument that helps us get closer to God. It allows us to talk to our Father and follow his path. For this reason, candles are so present in our Churches.

Natural beeswax candles

The industrialization of manufacturing processes and the use of molds have made it possible to make candles from numerous types of materials. Each of the raw materials has its own characteristics.

In our online store we have for sale candles of mineral origin (known as paraffin candles), candles of vegetable origin and candles of animal origin (beeswax candles).

Plant-based candles and beeswax candles are the most natural candles money can buy. They are totally ecological products.

Natural beeswax candles are made by hand, using techniques that allow the raw material to reach buyers in optimal conditions, be they parishes or homes.

Making wax candles is a process that has its starting point in bee hives.

Bees secrete the substance we know as wax, transforming pollen, honey and nectar into a gelatinous liquid that hardens on contact with air.

This substance is the raw material with which the bees build the honeycombs of the hives. The panels or sheets of wax fulfill different functions within the ecosystem of the hive. The cells of the sheets are used as storage areas for honey and other food, serve as a cradle for the young of bees, etc.

Honeycombs are the main raw material for animal wax candles. The sheets that are extracted from the bee hives serve as the body of the candles.

How to make bees wax candles?

The manufacturing process of natural wax candles is simple and complex at the same time.

The two components are the sheets of the honeycombs extracted from the bee hives, and the wicks that will serve to light the flame that will give light while the wax is consumed.

Unlike the components, the process for making a wax candle is a bit more complex. Although making a candle may seem like a simple craft, the skilled hands of artisans are very important.

Natural wax candles are made one by the hands of traditional artisans who have been practicing for many years. His skill in handling beeswax sheets is the key to creating candles quickly and without waste.

To sell these candles, we have designed a totally handmade manufacturing method.

How to make 100% handmade beeswax candles?

• Raw material of natural bee candles

The process to make beeswax candles begins with the two basic elements of candles: sheets of pure wax and the ecological wick.

Once the artisans have these two components, the elaboration begins.

The decoration of the candles is very simple. All the stages try to be very careful to preserve the properties of the raw material.

• Beeswax candle measurements

In our online store, we have 17 cm natural wax candles for sale. high by 5.5 cm. diameter. To achieve these measurements, the sheets of the honeycombs are cut to 17 cm. High.

As for the length, it must have to get a 5.5 cm candle. in diameter will depend on the thickness of the sheet. The thicker, the shorter the length.

All these measurements are calculated so that 17 x 5.5 cm candles come out. approximately. It is important to keep in mind that in this type of artisan products, there will always be minimal variations derived from the method used to make the candles.

The wick is cut 2 or 3 cm. longer than the height of the foil (of the sail). If later the artisan detects that it has been too long, it is rectified.

• Attach the wick to the wax sheet

Once we have the components with the correct measurements, the craftsman proceeds to attach the candle wick to one end of the sheet of pure wax. The fastening is done by hand on one of the 17 cm sides.

Wax sheets are rigid at room temperature. In a normal situation, it does not allow it to be manipulated. In order to integrate the wick into the sheet, it is necessary to heat the sheet of the honeycomb. The craftsman, using specific instruments, heats the wax sheet to the temperature that he deems necessary to be able to place the wick.

• Roll up the wax sheet to make the candle

The last phase in creating a sail is to hand roll the honeycomb sheet. To do this, once again, the artisan uses specific instruments to heat the wax. At this point in the process you have to be especially careful.

The temperature that the wax reaches should be optimal. If it is too high, the honeycomb sheet could become deformed and lose its characteristic appearance of hexagonal cells. On the contrary, if the temperature is very low, the sheet would be very rigid and would not allow working with it. Most likely it would break and completely break.
