About Lowfield Light beeswax, testing and burn times

Some information about the beeswax I use, from my supplier:

The beeswax is sourced from a variety of small scale beekeepers, who are part of a larger syndicate that collects the harvested raw beeswax from the individual beekeepers. The bees are wild, with the wax being produced by the bees during hive formation, as part of their natural lifecycle. The means of “harvesting” the beeswax doesn’t have a detrimental effect on this process, or on bee welfare. As with honey collection, sections of the physical hive are removed and the beeswax is collected before the hive section is replaced with fresh foundation sheets that encourage the formation of fresh hive sections.

Burn times

Beeswax is a natural product, and its properties vary from batch to batch. Lowfield Light candles and tealights are tested regularly to confirm their burn times and adjust wick sizes as needed; however, burn times will vary depending on room temperature, humidity, drafts etc so these are just an estimate.

To get the most from your candles and tealights, always burn them for at least an hour (ideally 2-3 hours for the big pillar candles) to discourage "tunnelling", and trim the wicks to about 1cm long before lighting.

If you have any questions or concerns about the performance of your Lowfield Light candles and tealights, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
