Bluecorn Bees Wax Pillar Candle
Bluecorn Bees Wax Pillar Candle
“Bee totem is an ally for gardeners and farmers. Bees are essential for life on this planet; all plant life relies on bees for pollination, which is necessary for the fertilization of plants and reproduction. When Bee shows up in your life, it is time to cultivate concepts or projects through action. Do what needs to be done, and make things happen. It’s time to be productive!”
-Excerpted from Animal Totems and the Gemstone Kingdom by Margaret Ann Lembo
Many beeswax pillar candles have difficulty burning because the particulate in beeswax clogs the wick, resulting in a weak flame and tunneling. Bluecorn 100% pure beeswax pillars will burn perfectly because it’s made by lightly filtering crude beeswax and the right wick is carefully chosen. Light filtration takes out just the right amount of particulate while keeping the sweet honey scent and gorgeous natural color intact.
3” Dia. Pillars:

- Trim the wick to 1/4″ before each lighting.
- To avoid tunneling, burn for at least 3 hours per burn and mold the warm sides toward the flame. This will melt the walls, utilizing all of the available fuel, and thus extending the overall burn time. It will also raise the molten wax level, and shrink any over-sized flame.
- To prevent uneven burning and potential dripping, use a metal tool to redirect a curled or angled wick in the opposite direction. To prevent wick breakage when doing this, be sure to nudge the wick below the level of the molten pool where the wick is not burned and is thus stronger.
- To eliminate smoke when extinguishing the flame, use a tool to drip wax from the molten pool onto the burning wick.

“Bluecorn is a candle company dedicated to simplicity. For us, that means using pure, simple ingredients to build a product that helps us live richer, more connected lives. It’s important to know, however, that underlying our sweet, simple candles is a complex process requiring unwavering attention to detail and ultimately, a high level of craftsmanship.
In this way, we emulate the bees that bless us with all of their remarkable gifts. Their journey carries them across countless miles finding flowers, collecting pollen, and making wax — the building block of their exquisite homes.
Our journey begins with sourcing only the finest of this beeswax, then lightly filtering it to remove particulates while leaving the sweet scent and vibrant color intact. Then, we painstakingly test burn every batch and carefully choose the right wick to ensure a perfect burn.
Yes, we keep it simple, but we work really hard at it.”
