How to Make Beeswax Candles

[@sherryhearn4297]

You are so good at explaining the entire process! I sincerely appreciate the zero amount of waste! Thank you, Pam and Bob~

Thank you for your comment.

How can I get the moulds? Great explanation

[@marcuswright8998]

This is a crazy amount of information. I am blown away by your willingness to share this openly. Truly giving back to beekeepers.

[@thundragurcharan]

I would pay to train with this lady. She's so detail oriented. I love it!

[@MBDronePhoto]

One of the best vids I have seen. Almost makes me want to just source wax and make candles and keep a few bees for fun.

[@terrischumacher7178]

I feel so blessed to have found this video. You can tell when someone REALLY LOVES what they do and this shines through - your sharing is truly appreciated. Can't wait to check out your store. Have a great day and God blessings to you all!

This is the best explanation on how to make candles ive ever seen. This channel totally deserves way more subs then it has. She would have a million subs plus if she did her own channel on candle making. Heck teaching anything the way she explains things would do well i believe

[@angryoldman9140]

She is beautiful! She glows and her eyes are enchanting! She explains things clearly, cheerfully, and in an engaging, hands on way. This is by far the best candle making presentation I have ever seen. I would love to begin making candles as well. I have a lot of moulds I was given. Now I am not afraid to start.

[@angryoldman9140]

Just an update, I have made beeswax candles , I had a ton of Mann Lake ltd molds I was given for free, I’ve been making candles, they’ve all turned out good, I’m now testing them before giving them out. I tested using cappings wax and lower grade brown beeswax. I was getting sinkholes in my candles after pouring, so I found that by putting the beeswax-filled moulds immediately into my oven that has been pre-warmed by the Oven light (and keep it on during this process) on a cookie sheet, they did not have tunneling , or sinkholes in the wax due to cooling too fast. It really helped. I also found during testing that my unprimed wicks tended to snuff themselves out before reaching the wax. I thought if I primed just the first inch of the wick that was to go into the top of the candle (bottom of the mould) that it would fix that problem, and I wouldn’t have to prime the whole wick as primed wick is hard to get through and pull through the candle mould holes.

Fantastic video! I'm a hobby beekeeper with about 40 hives. I've been accumulating all of my wax for the past several years. I still have yet to attempt making candles, however I already purchased the supplies. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Nicely narrated too. Very helpful. I'd love to see more of your wax melting equipment. I subscribed and I'll certainly check out your other videos. Thanks again for taking the time to create and share this video 🐝🐝🐝☮️☯️

[@viscache1]

Cool! I’m looking forward to making cosmetics and candles and a furniture wax finish that comes from a 16th century recipe I found in an old manuscript in my book collection. Most of this will go to make a custom furniture repair filler (from that same book). I’m new to bees and having good luck in following your videos so far. Thanks for yet another great idea to make another profit line in our businesses! Years ago when I made candles we used a hot air gun to warm the molds first so they cooled a bit slower…no sink holes

[@bobbinnie9872]

Pre-warming. That's a good idea.

[@jorgeclaverie6752]

This is a very clear, detailed and thorough explanation of how to make candles. I will try to make a few with the little wax with which I always end up after extracting honey out of my few hives. Thank you!

[@bobbinnie9872]

Thank you for your comment

[@beebob1279]

Fun stuff. An easy way to keep the wick in the mold and not use the wicking needle is to leave the wick on the spool from the bottom of the mould. When the mould is cool pull the new candle out of the mould and the new wicking self wicks. Done. It's was a great idea to mention the temperature of the wax for pouring candles. Very important.

[@bobbinnie9872]

Thank you.

[@arxsyn]

l love the sweet, honeyed, floral aroma of beeswax. Just wonderful. your workshop probably smells divine. when l was in grade school l was taught to make my own beeswax 🕯️. All you need is a candle Wick and beeswax pre-formed into sheets. Simply roll the beeswax around the wick and you're done.

[@bobbinnie9872]

We also do some candles like that. Very easy.

What an excellent video. 132 thumbs down? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!! That setup is really cool and such a nice shop you have. I love the little dowels and all the slots for them and the lighting is perfect. That melter is sweet too. Those are pricey! Anything stainless from Mann Lake sha shing lol I've been using a crock pot and turkey baster, and that baster gets flippin hot after a few squirts. Interesting that you filter it one last time into your pouring pot. I'd like to set up a similar wax processing area on a smaller scale. I'm just now getting where I have a little bit of wax to work with. I'm going to have to check out what else you guys have posted. You must have a lot of hives to have all that wax I saw stacked up there. I try to manage around 30 hives and boy it's a lot of work. . It was a good year for us with plenty of rain, so we got quite a few cappings from around 550 lbs of honey. I saved some of our darker wax from last year to put back on my plastic rite-cell foundations that need recoating. This year's I melted into the 1 oz bars. I didn't see in the comments below on where you get your wick. Do you use Mann Lake for that as well. Are your molds mostly Mann Lake? LIKED AND NEW SUBSCRIBER.

[@bobbinnie9872]

We do get our wicking and most of our molds from Mann Lake. The Melter is from Candle Science. Thanks for your comment.

Really wonderful and very soothing video. Would love to know how many times a single mold one could use? Does old molds create problem with design because it disfigured?

[@bobbinnie9872]

We get a lot of pours out of most of our molds as long as we are careful with them. Perhaps hundreds. Old molds usually don't cause a total disfigure but just begin to show flaws.

[@positiverobot]

@@bobbinnie9872Thanks a zillion

[@bobbinnie9872]

Some molds can be used hundreds of times. Pouring too hot shortens their lives more than anything and yes quality can suffer.
