Beeswax Emergency Candle
A Long-Burning Beeswax Candle Designed for Emergencies
Be prepared for the unexpected with our 100% pure beeswax emergency candles. Unlike paraffin or soy, beeswax burns brighter, cleaner, and longer, making it a reliable choice when the lights go out. Whether you are facing power outages, winter storms, or survival situations, this long-lasting candle provides steady, natural light you can count on.
Each candle measures 1.75 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall, with an approximate burn time of 35 hours. Handcrafted from natural beeswax, it offers a safe, eco-friendly option to keep in your home, cabin, or emergency kit.
Important Use Note: Always burn your candle free-standing on a fire-safe plate or holder. Do not place it in a tall, enclosed glass container, as trapped heat can affect performance and shorten burn time.

Why Choose Our Beeswax Emergency Candle?
Our Beeswax Emergency Candle is more than just a light source. It provides dependable illumination while offering natural benefits for your health, home, and the environment. Unlike synthetic alternatives, beeswax burns cleanly without producing harmful soot, making it a safe and eco-friendly choice.
Long, Reliable Burn
Beeswax has a naturally high melting point, allowing it to burn longer and more evenly than other candle types. This emergency candle provides up to 35 hours of steady, dependable light, giving you peace of mind during power outages or survival situations.
Natural Honey Scent
As it burns, the candle releases a gentle honey fragrance that comes directly from the beeswax itself. The scent is soft and natural, never overpowering, adding comfort and calm to stressful emergency situations.
Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic
Unlike paraffin, which is derived from petroleum, beeswax is a renewable, biodegradable resource. Our emergency candles contain no artificial dyes, fragrances, or harmful chemicals, ensuring a clean burn that won’t release toxins into your home.
Handcrafted with Care
Each Beeswax Emergency Candle is hand-poured in small batches at our family farm in Watertown, MN. Using pure beeswax from our hives, we craft every candle with care and dedication, ensuring quality you can trust when it matters most.

How to Use the Beeswax Emergency Candle for Best Results
Follow these simple guidelines to ensure safe, efficient, and long-lasting performance:
Trim the Wick
Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This promotes a steady flame, reduces smoke, and helps the candle burn more cleanly. Keeping the wick trimmed also maximizes total burn time.
Use on a Heat-Safe Surface
Always burn your candle free-standing on a fire-safe plate, saucer, or similar holder. Avoid enclosed glass containers, which can reflect heat and shorten burn time.
Burn in a Draft-Free Area
For reliable light, place your candle in a draft-free area. Moving air can cause flickering, uneven burning, or wasted wax. A stable environment ensures steady illumination.
Let a Melt Pool Form
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the top surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures the candle burns evenly for the rest of its life.

These candles are great. Unscented (which is important for me). They give a warm glow. Wick is thick cotton so the flame is strong and steady. They are smokeless (no black smokey streaks on wall). Ill buy more when these are gone.
