Why are beeswax candles special to you?
Bees do an amazing thing with beeswax – the subtle sweet fragrance, the varied yellows depending on where they’ve been grazing, its smooth, soft surface and that lovely bloom as it ages. The Votives burn very well in a clear glass votive glass for hours in any room of the house – it is one of the safest candles to burn in my log homestead.

Why are beeswax candles special to you? Beeswax candles have the brightest, purest light of any candles and are closest to natural sunlight.

Name: Leah
Hometown: Kaslo
Position: General Manager
Favorite candle type: 5” Pillar
Favorite candle color: Natural
Why are beeswax candles special to you? I don’t like artificial scents that mask odours. I like my home to just smell clean. That’s what you get from beeswax. With a 5” Pillar I can leave a mantel around the edge and let the warm light glow through it.

Why are beeswax candles special to you?
I burn my candles as often and long as possible, especially in the bathroom and living room. I give Pillars, Tapers and Votives as gifts. I like the feel and smell of beeswax, the fact that it is healthy and benefits my health.

Name:
Roy
Hometown: Kaslo
Position: Production Manager
Favorite candle type: 3” Pillar
Favorite candle color: Natural
Why are beeswax candles special to you? I have a great respect for the honey bee. The honey and the beeswax are in a perfect state when the bees make it. The 3” Pillar is the best candle for my ski cabin. It gives good light, warmth, and scent and is not fragile. It lasts a long time and is low maintenance.

Name: Pat
Hometown: Kaslo
Position: Sales Manager
Favorite candle type: I love them all. If I’m curled up for the evening reading a book I’ll burn a Pillar, Votive or T-lite. If I’m only going to burn a candle for an hour or so I’ll burn a Tube or Base.
Favorite candle color: Natural
Why are beeswax candles special to you?  I usually purchase my candles months ahead of time so they are fully (bloomed). Beeswax is special to me because the bright golden flame and wonderful smell - it provides a sense of serenity and peace which I seek in my life.

Name: Wendy
Hometown: Kaslo
Position: Pillar Pourer
Favorite candle type: Columns followed closely by Square Pillars
Favorite candle color: Natural
Why are beeswax candles special to you? I generally burn my candles in the evenings. I like the sweet smell and the lighting effect they have. The candle I most often give as a gift is the Votive or T-lite Gift Packs mostly because they are so nice looking in the recycled cardboard package.
