Bruynswick Store: Beeswax Candles

Candles, one of the earliest sources of light, have played a crucial role in history. Without the precious flame to extend the daylight hours well into the night and to illuminate the halls of humanity, doctrines might not have been written, physicists on the brink of discovery might have befuddled their formulas in the dark and entertainment would have stopped at sunset. Evidence of candles, or similar illuminating devices like torches and fire baskets, date back to as early as 3000 BC. Beeswax candles are made from the wax produced by bees when they construct their hives, and unlike candles made from paraffin wax, they don't smoke or drip. Read more about our Beeswax Candles Here.
