Beeswax burns differently than any other wax, and changes composition depending on what the bees are pollinating from. No two candles will burn the same. They may burn unevenly. That is the nature of beeswax.

If you follow the care instructions, you’ll enjoy the full life of the candle.

• The first burn should be 4 hours or until a full side-to-side burn is achieved. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

• Beeswax burns at a very high temperature, especially at first, so it will take a while for the heat of the wick to melt to the edge of the jar.

• Before the second burn, and every time after that, trim the wick just enough to remove the burnt mushroom top.
