I have had SUCH an obsession with bees recently. Beeswax, bees themselves, bee keeping, pollination, honeycombs, honey stirrers, honey itself. These tapered and twisted beeswax candles immediately appealed to me with their noodle-like texture and sweet yellow color. They’re shown in this photo with a custom wedding label – I have to admit I’d be ecstatic if I got these as a wedding favor this season. See them at Etsy.
