Hand-poured in small batches, these large beeswax candles are made from 100% American beeswax. Each candle measures 12" x 3", weighs 3 pounds, and is made to last—burning slowly with a faint, naturally sweet aroma unique to pure beeswax.

Unlike paraffin or synthetic blends, pure beeswax burns with a slower, steadier flame and carries the subtle scent of the hive itself. The result is a candle with real presence: substantial in scale, over 100 hours of burn time, and simple in composition.

Made by Basic Honey in Live Oak, Florida

Basic Honey is a fourth-generation apiary with hives in Florida and South Dakota. Following a seasonal migration north each summer, they render wax from their own hives and hand-pour these beeswax candles in small batches.

Why Beeswax

Beeswax is a biologically produced structural wax secreted by honey bees and composed largely of long-chain esters, free fatty acids, and hydrocarbons. In candle applications, its density and thermal properties support a comparatively slow rate of burn and a stable flame. Because the wax is used in pure form, the candle retains the faint natural aroma of beeswax itself rather than relying on synthetic fragrance.

  • LIGHT CAPPING BEESWAX

    This candle is made from light capping beeswax: the fresh wax bees use to seal ripe honey. Newer and cleaner than older comb wax, it gives the candle a purer color, a better natural aroma, and a cleaner burn.

  • SCENT OF THE HIVE

    Pure beeswax carries a faint natural sweetness drawn from the wax itself. No added fragrance—just the subtle scent of the hive as it burns.

A Family Practice, Poured by Hand

Basic Honey is a fourth-generation apiary producing honey and beeswax from its own hives. That family practice continues through wax gathered with care and hand-poured into candles in small batches using traditional methods. Their work is shaped by a respect for the natural quality of what the bees produce and for the larger role bees play in the health of the landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply the oil?

We recommend adding the oil on a cloth or paper towel and spreading it liberally throughout the wooden surface.

What is the difference between your raw linseed oil and others on the market?

The main differentiator is how Heron filters and purifies the oil in small batches, allowing for a more even finish and more consistent penetration into the wood fibers. Industrial production of linseed oil often involves chemical degumming and high-temp processing.

How often should I apply the oil to my wooden furniture?

We suggest applying the oil every few years to support the natural aging process of the wood. If you live in a particularly dry climate, the oil can be applied more frequently than that. 

How long will this bottle last? 

The 16oz bottle should last you for a long time as natural wood doesn’t require frequent reapplication of the oil. 100 square feet of coverage per ounce is possible on most hardwoods.

Is it compatible with Roseland’s wooden products?

Yes! Additionally, Heron’s Purified Linseed Oil is used during the manufacturing process of many of our products, including The Roseland Bed, The Pediment Bed, The Nightstand, and The Candle Stand. 

Will it smell?

There will be a natural scent following the application of the oil. The smell typically dissipates within 3-4 weeks. Most would describe it as "pleasant and earthy."

How and where should I store the oil?

We recommend storing the oil in a cool, dark place to preserve its longevity.
