ABOUT THIS CANDLE
The Queen B Votive candle refill is a small pillar designed to be burnt in a small glass votive jar (either our Queen B jar or another one of similar size). It has 15 hours burn time and is ideally burnt in 2 or 3 sessions or all at once. In a draft free spot, it will burn drip free sitting on a heat-proof plate. It will emit a gentle honey aroma and help ionise the air as it burns. Don't burn these candles without the glass jar or they melt away and burn too quickly. They're really designed to be burnt in the glass.

Size - VOTIVE CANDLE - 4.5cm diameter x 5cm high

Burn Time - 15 hours*

Made from - 100% pure beeswax with cotton wick & presented in frosted glass jar. The jar is reusable and we sell replacement votive candles.

Care & Use - Trim the wick to 5-7mm with scissors (or us a dedicated candle wick trimmer) prior to lighting and during the burn to get a longer burn time. Overly long wicks burn candles quicker. NEVER leave a lit candle unattended. Always burn on a fireproof and heat safe surface.

* Burn time may vary depending on several factors (but not limited to) - whether the wick is trimmed, whether the candle is in a draft free area, whether the candle is being burnt in an appropriately sized hurricane bowl or lamp (lamps that are too small provide too much heat and the candle can burn quicker).

ABOUT QUEEN B CANDLES
The quality and integrity of Queen B candles is second to none, which is why it's the only brand we stock and the only brand we use ourselves (see below for our own personal review). Pure beeswax candles are the only pure and non-toxic candle to burn in the home.

Paraffin is a toxic petrochemical by-product that arrived at the candle factory with a safety sheet advising the use of goggles, mask and gloves. It's then dyed & fragranced (usually with synthetic fragrance) and when you burn it in your home, these synthetic fragrances and petrochemical remnants are in the air you're breathing. Workers in candle shops will tell you then only use food grade paraffin wax. It doesn't alter the fact it started out as petrol and has been artificially died and fragranced by someone who had to wear goggles, a mask and gloves to make it.

Soy & palm candles all start out as an oil and are then chemically bleached and hydrogenated with nickel to turn in to a wax. There's nothing 'natural' about a soy candle or a palm oil candle either.

Beeswax candles, on first appearance, are dearer than paraffin or soy, but they burn a lot slower, and are more economical and better for your health and the environment. The WWF have chosen Queen B as their candle of choice when celebrating Earth Hour. The only ingredient in the wax for a Queen B Beeswax candle is beeswax!

Beeswax candles emit a natural, light honey aroma when burning. They are not artificially scented, but you can use the tealights in an oil burner and use natural essential oils for any aroma you require. By choosing a beeswax candle, you're supporting Aussie beekeepers.

Fun facts:- to produce 1 kilo of beeswax, female worker bees eat 10kg of honey, fly 530,000km by visiting 70 million flower blossoms. Bees are responsible for pollinating around 1/3 of the food we eat and our plants & trees in the forest.
