display as many differant designs/styles/colors as you can.  let people know the benifits


Burning Beeswax
When beeswax is burned, it emits negative ions in the air. These negative ions help rid the air of pollen, dust, mold, toxins and many other pollutants. This feature makes beeswax candles ideal for allergy suffers.


Smokeless Candles
Another plus is that beeswax candles do not produce smoke when they burn. They also burn much slower than other candles, making them much more cost efficient.

What's the best book to get for getting into beeswax candle making?  All the books I've seen are very general and deal with parafin.

I just learned off the web.... So far the big things are finding out the size of wick needed for the bees wax.... if a paraffin wick says that is is good for 3-4 inch candle use that wick on a 2 inch candle of beeswax...   the other is pouring temp and how to cool the candle......too hot and you run into problem too cold and e different set of problems......cool it too fast and yet another set of problems......

It took me about a week of reading and watching on the web ......

Thanks, that's what I am starting to realize but figured if someone knew of a good bees wax specific "how to" book this would be the place to find it.
