beeswax candle

Honeycomb-derived illumination source

A beeswax candle is a candle made from the wax produced by honeybees.

Beeswax candles burn cleaner and longer than paraffin candles, producing a subtle honey scent.

They're favored for their natural origin and warm, golden color: The room glowed with beeswax candles.
