5 inches tall. Burn time is 120 hours for the 5 inch and 65 hours for the 3" height. We hand make all of our beeswax candles in Watertown, MN. Please note: all of our pillar candles are designed to be burned free-standing, on a plate or saucer or similar holder. They are not meant to be placed in a tall, tight-fitting jar or glass holder, as this will reflect heat and affect the burn. Naturally Clean-Burning Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle Infuse your space with the timeless beauty and natural benefits of our Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle. Carefully handcrafted in Watertown, MN, this candle is made from 100% pure beeswax, sourced directly from the hives on our family farm. Our beeswax candles offer a cleaner and brighter burn than paraffin or soy alternatives, providing a cozy ambiance and peace of mind for those who value natural products. Why Choose Our Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candles? Our Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle provides not only beautiful lighting but is a healthier option than traditional parrafin or soy candles. Long, Consistent Burn Unlike other candles, beeswax has a high melting point, meaning it burns longer and more evenly. The 3" pillar provides up to 65 hours of steady, natural light, while the 5" option offers up to 120 hours. This extended burn time gives you maximum value, reducing the need to replace candles as often and allowing you to enjoy its light and subtle scent for days. Subtle Honey Fragrance One of the most beloved features of beeswax is its natural aroma, which subtly fills the room with a gentle honey scent as it burns. This fragrance is delicate, never overpowering, and doesn’t rely on artificial additives. Ideal for relaxation, the soft honey scent adds a cozy, calming touch to any setting. Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic Beeswax is a renewable, biodegradable resource, unlike paraffin, which is derived from petroleum. Our beeswax candles contain no synthetic dyes, artificial fragrances, or harmful chemicals, ensuring a clean burn that won’t pollute your indoor air. Choosing beeswax candles means making an environmentally conscious choice that supports sustainability. Handcrafted with Care Every Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle is made by hand in small batches at our family farm in Watertown, MN. With each pour, we ensure the highest quality, creating a unique candle crafted with dedication to sustainable farming and beekeeping practices. Each candle reflects the flora of Minnesota, thanks to the bees that pollinate the surrounding environment.

Its rustic appearance and rich golden color make it an elegant centerpiece on any table, whether for a family gathering, a rustic wedding, a dinner party, or a cozy night in.

How to Use the Rustic Beeswax Pillar Candle for Optimal Performance Trim the Candle Wick Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps maintain a steady flame, reduces soot buildup, and ensures a cleaner burn. Regular trimming not only improves the candle's performance but also extends its life. The cotton wick is designed to match the candle’s diameter, promoting an optimal burn and preventing common issues like tunneling, wax spillage, and wick drowning. Burn Free-Standing For the best performance, always burn your candle free-standing on a heat-resistant plate, saucer, or similar holder. Using a tight-fitting jar or glass holder can reflect heat back onto the candle, causing uneven melting and making the candle burn inefficiently. A free-standing setup allows for proper heat distribution, leading to a more even burn and a longer-lasting candle. Burn in a Draft-Free Area To ensure your candle burns evenly and lasts longer, always place it in a draft-free area. Drafts can disrupt the flame, causing the candle to burn unevenly and waste wax. When exposed to air currents, the flame can flicker and cause the wax to melt at different rates. Keeping your candle in a stable, draft-free environment helps maintain a steady flame and promotes even wax distribution. Allow a Full Melt Pool During the first burn, allow the candle to burn long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt and form a full melt pool. This helps prevent tunneling, which can shorten the life of your candle. A full melt pool ensures an even burn for the remainder of the candle’s life, allowing all of th
