Hillside House Honey is a celebrated local beekeeping operation that has earned awards for its exceptional practices. We utilise every aspect of the incredible honeybee, and once our honey is harvested, we obtain a natural by-product known as beeswax. This is created by the honeybees, who produce it through their specialised wax glands, resulting in perfectly hexagonal shapes crafted by over 60,000 bees working harmoniously. As a result our candles are entirely sustainable and eco-friendly.

Beeswax is the most natural option among all waxes used for candles, making it completely sustainable. Our beeswax candles contain no additives, ensuring a clean-burning non-toxic experience that is free from artificial fragrances and chemicals.

Unlike candles made from other waxes that emit a stark white light, beeswax provides a long-lasting warm glow that creates a welcoming and inviting ambience. Additionally, their dripless and smokeless burn results in a beautiful natural appearance, accompanied by a delightful aroma of honey and beeswax. This scent is cherished worldwide for it’s calming and therapeutic benefits, a practice known as Apitherapy.

By using beeswax candles, we foster a deeper connection to the natural world , linking us to timeless traditions and symbols. The spiritual significance of beeswax candles has been documented for centuries, representing purity, light, serenity and divinity.

Our collection of beeswax candles is crafted from 100% pure beeswax, in contrast to some other brands that blend their beeswax with other waxes, which diminish their effectiveness, burn time and purity.
