Candle by the Hour 70-Hour Beehive Candle, Eco-friendly Natural Beeswax with Cotton Wick

The Candle by the Hour 70-Hour Beehive Candle is a beautiful and eco-friendly option with a delightful honey scent that fills the room instantly! I absolutely love it! However, one downside is that it can be quite tricky to thread the wax through the clip. While this feature is innovative for safety, it requires not just patience and precision but also care, as the wax can sometimes break during the process. Despite this, its charming design and incredible scent make it a lovely addition to any space.

The media could not be loaded. Bees give us so much! Wax for candleing and cleaning the air. Honey for sweetening and overall health as well as pollination for our earth so we can be able to go on living. I just LOVE my beeswax candle. I love the sweet smell of honey that you smell when you open your candle. I will continue to purchase these candles for my home.

The candle arrived ready to use. The bees do not come attached to the candle; the wings are detached from the plastic bodies. Since the candle wax unwinds from the top, the best placement of the bees is not at the top. I scattered them, but did place a few at the top of the coil and on the strand going into the cup because it was cute. It would be cool if the bees were made more true to life, but they are cute from a distance and serve their purpose. As stated in the burning instructions, the candle does extinguish itself when the portion of candle exposed above the clamping cup burns down. The instructions also state that the candle should be placed so it extends no more than 2 inches above the cup. Each inch of candle is supposed to burn approx. 25 minutes. Be mindful that the instructions state the candle's burn rate is "approximate". Additionally, the burning instructions state to wait 10-15 minutes to allow the clamping arms and wax to cool down before relighting the candle. I placed the candle in an area that would not be impacted by the heat coming from the vents. There are no open windows, open doors, or fans being used. Using a measuring tape, I measured 2 inches and lit the candle at 2:34, it extinguished at 3:19. So 2 inches burned for 45 minutes. At 3:31, the cup and clamping arms had already cooled to the touch, but after opening the arms, the candle strand was stuck to the interior of the cup. I failed to check it at the 15 minute mark. Following the instructions, I found setting the candle up for the next burn a little awkward. I admit there was a slight struggle, but I won the mini-battle. The bees were re-arranged, this time I did not go with my preferred arrangement. Again, I measured 2 inches with a measuring tape. It took two attempts to get the candle to light. This time the two inches burned for 50 min. The candle is not scented, so when this one needs to be replaced, I will purchase a scented one. For me this candle is a keeper and will be more for aesthetic purposes. I will light it only occassionally. I love to use candles and normally let them burn for more than an hour at a time. Clearly, this candle is not made for that purpose, but so far it has burned for the "approximate" 25 minutes per 2 inches. If the bees were more true to life, I would give it 4.5 stars. If the burn time was longer, I would give it 5 stars and recommend it.

Love the controlled burn. Awesome 16th anniversary gift (wax).

Bought this for my Granny for christmas because I know she loves to collect antique things. It is just as beautiful as it is advertized.

The media could not be loaded. Worth the price! Just to be clear, it does smell like honey, when you put your nose to the candle. When You burn it, it does not give off the honey aroma. It DOES, however, take away smells. It neutralizes the air. I had a room that had a closed up smell to It. Bc I never go into the room, and it stays closed up. I put the candle in there and let it burn for 20 minutes, went back and still to this day, The smell is gone. It’s a normal size bedroom. Nothing small. This candle does come with some bees, they are not put together and are cheaply made. You can buy some push pins and put them on the candle as a replacement if you wanted to. Best thing is, you don’t have to buy the whole candle again once it’s all burnt. You can buy just the replacement for it.

Wax is hard to actually feed into the clamp, not user friendly. Won't be buying again. Bee decorations are very cheap looking.
