Celebrate the beauty of nature with our Trees & Snowflakes Beeswax Candles, handcrafted from 100% pure beeswax with natural cotton wicks. Designed to bring both elegance and warmth to your home, these candles offer a brighter, cleaner burn than paraffin or soy alternatives, along with the subtle honey fragrance that comes naturally from beeswax.

The Tree Candle measures 2.75 inches in diameter and 4.25 inches tall, providing up to 65 hours of steady light. The Snowflake Candle stands at 2.75 inches in diameter and 5.75 inches tall, with an impressive burn time of up to 120 hours. Both designs make beautiful seasonal accents, adding golden glow and natural charm to your décor.

We hand make all of our beeswax candles in Watertown, MN.

Please note: all of our pillar candles are designed to be burned free-standing, on a plate or saucer or similar holder. They are not meant to be placed in a tall, tight-fitting jar or glass holder, as this will reflect heat and affect the burn.

How to Use the Trees & Snowflakes Beeswax Candles for Best Results

To enjoy the longest life and cleanest burn from your Trees & Snowflakes Beeswax Candles, follow these simple tips:

Trim the Wick

Trim the Candle Wick

Before lighting, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps maintain a steady flame, reduces smoke, and promotes an even burn. Keeping the wick trimmed also helps extend the total burn time.

Burn Free-Standing

Burn Free-Standing

Always place your candle on a fire-safe plate or saucer. Because of their pillar-style shape, these candles are not designed for enclosed or tight glass holders, which can trap heat and cause uneven melting.

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

For the most consistent light, keep your candle away from vents, windows, or fans. Drafts can make the flame flicker, causing wax to melt unevenly and shortening the burn time.

Allow a Full Melt Pool

Allow a Full Melt Pool

On the first burn, let the top layer of wax fully melt across the candle’s surface before extinguishing it. This prevents tunneling and ensures the candle burns evenly throughout its life, 65 hours for the Tree Candle and 120 hours for the Snowflake Candle.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Trees & Snowflakes Beeswax Pillar Candle

How long do the Trees & Snowflakes Beeswax Candles burn? bee icon

The Tree Candle burns for up to 65 hours, while the taller Snowflake Candle provides up to 120 hours of steady, golden light. Burn times may vary slightly depending on wick care and room conditions.

Is the beeswax candle scented? bee icon

The candle does not contain added fragrances, but it emits a soft, natural honey aroma from the beeswax itself. This subtle scent is gentle and relaxing, ideal for creating a cozy atmosphere without overpowering your space.

Are Beeswax Candles eco-friendly? bee icon

Yes, our beeswax candles are made from 100% natural, biodegradable beeswax sourced sustainably from our farm. Beeswax burns cleanly without releasing toxins, making it an environmentally friendly and non-toxic choice.

Do beeswax candles drip? bee icon

Beeswax has a high melting point, so it typically burns with minimal to no dripping, especially when kept away from drafts. For the best results, burn your candle in a stable environment and trim the wick regularly.

Do I need a special holder for these candles? bee icon

No special holder is required. The Trees & Snowflakes Candles are designed to burn free-standing on a heat-resistant surface. Avoid placing them in tall glass holders, as trapped heat can affect performance and reduce burn time.

How is the beeswax sourced for these candles? bee icon

All of the beeswax used in our Trees & Snowflakes Beeswax Candles is harvested directly from Ames Farm’s own hives in Minnesota. We practice ethical and sustainable beekeeping, ensuring that the bees are never harmed in the process. The wax is a natural by-product of honey production, which means nothing goes to waste. By choosing our candles, you’re supporting pollinator health, local agriculture, and environmentally responsible practices.

Why is my candle burning unevenly, and how can I fix it? bee icon

Uneven burning is usually caused by drafts, a wick that’s too long, or not allowing the candle to form a full melt pool on the first burn. To fix it, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use, keep the candle away from open windows, vents, or fans, and let the wax melt evenly across the top layer during the first lighting. This will prevent tunneling and help your candle burn steadily for its full life.
