There are three different candle competitors that beeswax candles are competing with: paraffin candles, soy candles and gel candles. The competitors are generally less expensive and also of lower quality.

Beeswax candles are made from wax collected from bee hives by commercial bee farmers. To prepare the candle making process, the beeswax itself is being processed and purified. The purification process includes heating the wax in hot water.

You will be able to find many different forms and shapes of these candles, as well as finding unscented and scented types. One of the reasons why beeswax candles are considered top-of-the-line is their burning characteristics. The difference is that some other candles do not emit such a powerful yellow color and burn with such warm flames.

There is only a small amount of wax dripping from a beeswax candles.

This characteristic makes these candles very desirable for use in religious services. There are many institutions that use candles heavily, like Catholic Church does during their services. It would make a real mess if those candles were dripping a lot of wax.

And they handle this problem by choosing only beeswax candles, since they do not drip wax at all. One more good news about beeswax candles is that they do not produce a lot of smoke. They are quite clean burning candles, to tell it in the other way. This characteristic makes them desirable candles to burn with children in the home and also generally to protect your family’s respiratory systems.

With these candles you won’t have such problems as bad petroleum smell that you usually get with paraffin candles and you won’t have problems with darks spots on your ceiling or your walls due to the soot.

Even though the beeswax candles are more expensive due to the labor involved during the farming process, their benefits make them worth the additional expense.
