Candles are fab – I love them! That’s why I started making my own. They’re not just a cosy addition to your home; they set the tone, bring warmth, and add a sense of calm to even the busiest days. My Westcountry Beeswax Tealights take that to the next level. They’re more than just candles – they’re a sustainable, natural alternative that supports local bees and brings a little slice of Somerset into your home. 

 

The Beauty of Beeswax

Beeswax is one of nature’s best-kept secrets, and here’s why:

  • Eco-Friendly: It’s natural, renewable, and biodegradable. Unlike paraffin candles, it’s completely toxin-free – no nasties here!
  • Clean Burning: No soot, no smoke – just a clean, steady flame to create the perfect atmosphere.
  • Subtle Honey Scent: It’s light and natural, not overpowering – just a gentle hint of honey to lift the mood.
  • Longer Burn Time: Beeswax burns slower than other waxes, so you get more glow for your money.

 

Locally Made, Sustainably Sourced

Each tealight is handmade by me using 100% locally sourced beeswax from Somerset. The wax is unfiltered and unrefined, which means it keeps its natural golden colour.

By working with local beekeepers, I’m supporting sustainable, small-scale practices and helping to protect our buzzing friends who do so much for our planet!

With an approximate burn time of three hours, these tealights are perfect for winding down after work, adding a glow to dinner, or creating a calming corner in your home. 

 

Why These Tealights Are Different

When you buy from a small business like mine, you’re not just buying a candle – you’re supporting a vision. For me, that’s my dream of setting up a hive of Buckfast bees. Every purchase helps me get closer to that goal, meaning you’re contributing directly to sustainable beekeeping and the wellbeing of the environment.These tealights are more than practical – they connect you to nature, sustainability, and the care that goes into making something by hand.
