  • Candles made from raw beeswax last longer and burn cleaner than other candles. Pamela explains the wicks, molds, melter and tools we use to produce beeswax candles and how we prepare them for sale.

    One of the best vids I have seen. Almost makes me want to just source wax and make candles and keep a few bees for fun.

    You must use very small cotton buds to get the wax out of the bees 🐝 ears 👂.

    This is the best explanation on how to make candles ive ever seen. This channel totally deserves way more subs then it has. She would have a million subs plus if she did her own channel on candle making. Heck teaching anything the way she explains things would do well i believe

    Fantastic video! I'm a hobby beekeeper with about 40 hives. I've been accumulating all of my wax for the past several years. I still have yet to attempt making candles, however I already purchased the supplies. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Nicely narrated too. Very helpful. I'd love to see more of your wax melting equipment. I subscribed and I'll certainly check out your other videos. Thanks again for taking the time to create and share this video 🐝🐝🐝☮️☯️

    She is beautiful! She glows and her eyes are enchanting! She explains things clearly, cheerfully, and in an engaging, hands on way. This is by far the best candle making presentation I have ever seen. I would love to begin making candles as well. I have a lot of moulds I was given. Now I am not afraid to start.

    • @angryoldman9140
      @angryoldman9140 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just an update, I have made beeswax candles , I had a ton of Mann Lake ltd molds I was given for free, I’ve been making candles, they’ve all turned out good, I’m now testing them before giving them out. I tested using cappings wax and lower grade brown beeswax. I was getting sinkholes in my candles after pouring, so I found that by putting the beeswax-filled moulds immediately into my oven that has been pre-warmed by the Oven light (and keep it on during this process) on a cookie sheet, they did not have tunneling , or sinkholes in the wax due to cooling too fast. It really helped. I also found during testing that my unprimed wicks tended to snuff themselves out before reaching the wax. I thought if I primed just the first inch of the wick that was to go into the top of the candle (bottom of the mould) that it would fix that problem, and I wouldn’t have to prime the whole wick as primed wick is hard to get through and pull through the candle mould holes.

    Cool! I’m looking forward to making cosmetics and candles and a furniture wax finish that comes from a 16th century recipe I found in an old manuscript in my book collection. Most of this will go to make a custom furniture repair filler (from that same book). I’m new to bees and having good luck in following your videos so far. Thanks for yet another great idea to make another profit line in our businesses! Years ago when I made candles we used a hot air gun to warm the molds first so they cooled a bit slower…no sink holes

All you need is a candle Wick and beeswax pre-formed into sheets. Simply roll the beeswax around the wick and you're done.
