These are especially pernicious in that they often give off an oily odor and the always create a horrid amount of soot on walls. I am not familiar with recycled wax candles, although many of the places that do produce pure beeswax candles buy back candle stubs from their clients. The candles are 100 pure beeswax and are very reasonable in cost. Beeswax is naturally colored in a range of pale yellows to deep tan, depending on the nectar that the bees were gathering at the time. It takes 4 pounds of hive honey to produce a pound of honey.
White beeswax is made that way by bleaching it.
Thank you for your most informative e-mail concerning beeswax. Obviously this is not the case.
