Candle Moulds Beekeeping

Why these sell better than any other

A candle shaped like a skep or a bee, made with your own wax, tells where it comes from without you having to explain. On a market stall next to your honey jars, the beekeeping mould is what turns a candle into something from the house.

The comb-embossed cylinders are the most versatile: they release well, have enough relief to look good and are not so fine that bubbles become a problem. The straw skep with bees and the 7 cm bee are the gift pieces.

What they all share

They are silicone moulds, so they stretch to release and forgive shapes with a narrow neck. Two-part ones close with elastic bands: without them the wax escapes at the seam, which is failure number one on a first attempt.

Beeswax melts between 61 and 65 ºC and there is no need to go beyond that; above 140 ºC the volatiles that give it the honey smell evaporate. And the wick goes with the candle diameter: too fine and it tunnels, too thick and it smokes. All of that, with wicks and bands, is in candle-making supplies, and the full mould range in candle moulds.
