This charming silicone mould allows you to craft handmade candles in the shape of a bear hugging a traditional straw skep hive—an endearing figure that adds warmth and personality to any setting.
Made from high-quality, heat-resistant silicone, this mould is specially designed for use with beeswax, delivering crisp, professional results even after repeated use. With its compact size—62 mm tall and 50 mm in diameter—it’s ideal for both home crafting and small-scale artisanal production. Each candle requires approximately 32 g of wax and a 3x7 wick for best results.
This model stands out for its ease of use and fine detailing, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced beekeepers. Its flexible silicone structure allows for effortless unmolding without damaging the shape, and its durability ensures that the mould can be reused dozens of times without compromising quality. No special equipment or experience is needed—just melt the wax, pour, and enjoy the process.
For optimal results, ensure the mould is clean and dry before use. Insert the wick into the centre of the base and secure it at the top with a stick or wick holder. Melt your beeswax to approximately 65–70 °C and pour slowly into the mould to avoid air bubbles. Let the candle cool at room temperature without moving the mould. Once fully set, gently unmold and trim the wick to the desired length. If necessary, smooth out the base or edges with a hot blade for a perfect finish.
Beyond their decorative appeal, beeswax candles offer many advantages: • They are natural, sustainable, and biodegradable, free from petroleum derivatives and additives. • They emit a warm, clean light with no black smoke. • Their combustion helps purify the air by releasing negative ions. • They provide a valuable by-product for beekeepers, turning surplus wax into beautiful artisanal goods for local markets, fairs, or as eco-friendly gifts.
With this mould, you're not just creating a beautiful and functional candle—you’re celebrating the connection between beekeeping, craftsmanship, and sustainability. A must-have tool for any beekeeper looking to stand out with meaningful, handcrafted creations.
