Benefits of the Beeswax Emergency Candles
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.
Versatile Uses for the Beeswax Emergency Candle

Its compact size makes it easy to store in your emergency kit, glove compartment, or backpack, ensuring you always have a safe light source available.

How to Use the Beeswax Emergency Candle for Best Results
To get the most out of your Beeswax Emergency Candle, 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 the total burn time of your candle.
Use on a Heat-Safe Surface
Always burn your candle free-standing on a fire-safe plate, saucer, or similar holder. Do not use it in an enclosed glass or tight-fitting container, as reflected heat can cause uneven melting and shorten the burn time.
Burn in a Draft-Free Area
For the most 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, consistent 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, giving you the full benefit of its 35-hour burn time.

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.
Love the simplicity of these candles and knowing that it's a clean source. Thank you.
