North Island Apiaries Beeswax Pillar Candle, Hand-poured on North Haven Island
Each candle is poured in small batches using 100% pure beeswax and all-cotton wicks. Because they’re handmade, you’ll see natural variations in color, texture, and finish — the quiet marks of real craft and real beeswax. The scent is subtle, warm, and honeyed, just as nature made it.
What makes our candles special
– Incredibly pure, 100% beeswax — no dyes, perfumes, or additives – Naturally golden with a soft, clean burn – All-cotton wicks for long, steady glow – Small-batch poured for quality and character
How to Burn a Beeswax Pillar (for best results)
1. Burn in 2–4 hour sessions. Burn for 2 hrs at minimum or at least until the melt pool reaches close to the edge. Short burns cause tunneling; very long burns can create leaning edges.
2. Keep the wick trimmed. Trim to ¼ inch before each lighting for a clean, even flame.
3. “Hug” the candle if needed. If a thin wall forms around the edge, gently press it inward once the wax is warm but not hot. This helps the candle burn evenly.
4. Keep out of drafts. A steady flame ensures an even melt.
5. Always use a heat-safe dish. Beeswax burns cleanly, but pillars can develop a melt pool toward the end of their life.
