These cappings are removed when the honey is extracted and contain the finest beeswax, fresh and full of natural aroma. This is the traditional method of hand making candles by dipping wick into molten beeswax. The wood frames are DIY and dip six pairs of candles at a time until they become too big. The frames are designed to split so the dipping can continue three pairs at a time. You can see here how the wax slowly builds to create the familiar tapered candle shape. beeswax candles after 3 dips after 6 dips after 9 dips after 12 dips after 15 dips after 18 dips after 21 dips after 24 dips Finished after 27 dips Beeswax For Sale Bee Hives and Beekeeping Equipment for sale Bees and Queen Bees for sale Practical Beekeeping Courses This webpage was last updated 1 January 2012 and it took ages!   For your security, all payments and 'shopping bag' are handled by PAYPAL.
