Sweet benefits of honey and beeswax

Pure beeswax has a cleaner burn than paraffin,  contains no petroleum by-products, and is carbon-neutral. It produces less smoke and drips less than commercial candles, and gives off a sweet wholesome smell—with none of the artificiality of commercially fragranced products.

 Burning beeswax helps neutralize pollutants in the air—reducing atmospheric dust, odors, and mold, easing allergy and asthma symptoms. Beeswax has non-allergenic properties that can protect the skin, with subtle anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities.

Bee populations have been declining globally, due to increased rates of colony collapse, climate change, and environmental factors. These changes have sparked fear that further loss would leave us without essential pollination. Many of the country's crops would not exist without the honey bee at bloom time.

  I love old bottles—the intricacy of their design, the durability of antique containers, and the stories  behind the people whose lifeblood went into them.
Using casting materials similar to those in theater arts, I experimented until I found a way to create molds that recreate their vintage beauty in beeswax. 

Its color, which ranges from pale yellow to rich amber, is determined by the time spent storing honey in the comb, absorbing its hue and scent from pollen, nectar, and propolis (bee resin). Like honey, each batch of wax is determined by the company it keeps (bees visiting sage, lavender, goldenrod, apple, sumac, aster, blueberry, clover...).
