apidae candles
apidae candles give the traditional craft of beeswax candle-making a modern touch. I pour each candle by hand – using 100% pure beeswax, with no added scents or dyes. The result is a clean-burning candle with a subtle, natural honey scent. My hand-poured beeswax candles combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern, sustainable design. Whether as a thoughtful gift, for special occasions, or simply to fill your home with warm, natural light – each of my hand-crafted candles brings warmth, peace, and understated elegance into your home.
apidae candles has existed since 2013. It all began with the search for a scented candle. I wanted this candle to have a beautiful container that I could reuse, be non-toxic, and have a subtle, not overpowering scent. Most candles available on the market are made of paraffin, a by-product of crude oil processing. Paraffin contains toxins and is then bleached with chemicals to lighten the color. Synthetic fragrances are often added. These toxins are released into the air when burned. I knew I didn’t want that!
Soy wax is considered a natural alternative to paraffin but its production has led to deforestation and monoculture farming.
On the contrary, pure beeswax is a natural and renewable resource. In addition, the bees provide a subtle scent of honey to the beeswax. I also wanted the candle to have a modern touch. I began by pouring beeswax into the classic German Weck jars I had collected in my basement. And that's how apidae candles came to be - your natural alternative to scented candles.
