Unlike paraffin, which is a petroleum byproduct, our wax is a renewable material created by our bees. Its higher melting point means it typically provides a brighter, more durable flame in candles compared to soy wax. It also releases a subtle honey aroma that varies based on the season's forage, something not found in industrially produced waxes. It represents a connection to a specific place and season. This makes beeswax a healthier, eco-friendly option that supports sustainable beekeeping while delivering superior performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails class=\"faq-detail\"\u003e\n \u003csummary class=\"faq-summary\"\u003eWhat can pure beeswax be used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003ePure beeswax can be used for a wide range of practical and creative projects, making it one of the most versatile natural waxes available. It is commonly used for making candles, where its higher melting point allows it to burn longer, brighter, and cleaner than paraffin or soy wax while releasing a naturally subtle honey aroma. Pure beeswax is also popular for salves, balms, and natural skincare products, as well as homemade beeswax food wraps that offer a reusable, eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap. In addition, beeswax is useful for crafts and household projects, including wood finishes, furniture polish, lubricating drawers or tools, and waterproofing leather or fabric. For beekeeping, it is often used to coat plastic foundation to help bees draw out comb more naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n","brand":"Ames Farm","offers":[{"title":"Beeswax 1 Ounce Bar","offer_id":608720049,"sku":"2818","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beeswax 7.5 ounce Brick","offer_id":42999526162604,"sku":"","price":9.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beeswax 1 lb Brick","offer_id":348865389,"sku":"BWX1lb25","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/6071\/products\/pure-beeswax-796524.jpg?v=1706063287"},{"product_id":"2-8-beeswax-candle","title":"100% Beeswax Candle 2.8\" Pillar","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; }\n\n \/* General heading styles *\/\n h2 { margin-top: 40px; font-size: 40px; }\n\n \/* Converted heading styles *\/\n .h2-small { font-size: 30px; margin-top: 30px; }\n .h2-icon { font-size: 22px; margin-top: 15px; }\n\n \/* Columns *\/\n .columns { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; justify-content: space-between; margin-bottom: 20px; }\n .column { flex: 0 1 48%; margin-bottom: 20px; }\n\n \/* Icons *\/\n .icon { width: 125px; height: 125px; }\n .icon-medium { width: 90px; height: 90px; }\n .icon-small { width: 40px; height: 40px; margin-left: 5px; }\n\n \/* FAQ *\/\n .faq-detail { border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px; cursor: pointer; overflow: hidden; }\n .faq-summary { padding: 10px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; font-weight: bold; outline: none; }\n .faq-content { margin: 0; padding: 10px; }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Handcrafted 2.8 Inch Beeswax Pillar Candles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur natural beeswax candles are a superior choice to paraffin and soy candles, offering a cleaner, brighter burn.
