BIRD SAFE CANDLES
We now have available for your burning pleasure 100% Bees Wax Candles. If your candles do not say 100% then they are not pure Bees wax.
WHY BEESWAX
HEALTH. Most candles are made of petro-chemical (paraffin) and meatpacking wastes that are toxic when burned, scented with poisonous synthetic oils, and marketed to "freshen" our precious air. The black soot is as jarmful to our health as tobacco smoke. The EPA says:"burning several [paraffin] candles... increase risk for cancer". The American Lung Association says: "Refrain from burning scented... candles" (see online about "aromatherapy" candles and their health hazards). HealthyCandles.org says: "Avoid paraffin."
We say
"Health first! Avoid chemical candles."
NATURALLY MADE
Beeswax is very different. Made from flowers by honeybees, it's all natural, uniquely nontoxic, non-allergenic and has a delicate honey-sweet aroma. A perfect, peaceful, remewable resource, beeswax is made by female worker bees for honeycomb that safely contains their honey and the Queen's baby bees. To produce one pound of beeswax, the worker bees eat about ten pounds of honey, fly 150,000 miles and visit 33 million flower blossoms! Beeswax is precious stuff.
SMART CHOICE
Pure beeswax is healthy when burned, producing negative ions that actually clean our air of odors, pollens, smoke, viruses, mold, dust, dust mites and other allergens and hazards. As does a rainstorm, beeswax candles leave our air fresher and cleaner. They are the only candles for anyone with chemical sensitvities or allergies. Increasing negative ions in the air and on the body, such as when one bathes in water, improves mood and sense of wellbeing.
VALUE
Beeswax burns brighter, hotter, cleaner and much longer than chemical vegetable wax. When properly made and burned beeswax candles are smokeless and dripless. They may seem more expensive but measured by burn time and completenes of burn, beeswax candles are a better monetary value by far.
Why Beeswax? Because we care about our health and our world.
