WHY CHOOSE BEESWAX INSTEAD OF PARAFFIN?

Here are 10 reasons to choose beeswax:

Beeswax candles burn cleaner than paraffin candles, producing very little soot.
Beeswax candles burn a lot longer than paraffin candles.
Beeswax candles contain none of the harmful chemicals sometimes found in paraffin candles.
Our beeswax taper candles are virtually dripless in normal draft free conditions.
The light emitted by a beeswax candle is much stronger and brighter than that of a paraffin candle.
Beeswax candles have a natural aroma and honey scent, no additives needed.
Beeswax is a renewable resource!
Beeswax candles can be burned around those with allergies or who are sensitive to strong chemical scents.
Natural beeswax candles support our beekeepers; our candles are created out of beeswax made in the USA.
Beeswax candles do not expire. Beeswax has been found in the pyramids virtually unchanged after 1000s of years

SHIPPING MADE SIMPLE

FLAT Rate Boxes measure:
Medium 11" x 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" @ $12 (Big enough for 10" tapers) Large 12" x 12" x 5-1/2" @ $15
FLAT RATE ships Priority Mail so it should get to any destination within the continental US in 3-5 days sometimes sooner. They pick up right here at the farm.

Shipping Honey can be expensive so I like to use FLAT RATE (size not weight is involved). Here
are some examples of what you can ship in a
FLAT RATE box for $12--8 One-POUND Jars of Honey (Shipping individually by weight would cost a lot more). You can combine 4 Pounds of Honey with 4 sets of tapers or 3-4 Large Candles. 8 one-half pound honey jars will leave room for three or four sets of tapers across the top.
YOU GET THE IDEA??

Do you love our HONEY CANDY?
You can ship 6 bags @ flat rate of $5.35 Candy/$2.75/bag 6 @ $15.00 & Shipping
