Our company has been in the beeswax business since 1959 and the bees have taught us a lot about what they do with their day. They have also shared with us some of their efforts, and we continue to learn from them as the years go on. In 1984, we expanded our product line to include paraffin waxes and continued to grow from there. Today we carry 25 different kinds of paraffin and microcrystalline wa

xes, 4 different soy waxes, and other palm oil based products. And for the specialists out there, we even carry Carnauba to give you that high depth hard shine! Try our physiotherapy wax for great relief. We also have a large variety of wicks, scents, and molds to help you make the perfect candle

Create a Bug Hotel to help the bees and their pollinator friends!
🐝
Find a secluded spot in your garden to create a safe space for insects to make a home. They'll thank you by pollinating your fruit, vegetables and flowers, and eating the pests you don't want.
🦋
Your Bug Hotel can be a simple piles of sticks and leaves, or you can create an Insect Mansion by adding bee tubes, drilling holes in logs, and finding pine cones and hollow stems to attract a variety of beneficial bugs
🪲
Pack the structure tightly so the materials don't fall out, and always use untreated, natural materials

MARKET ADVICE: Plan ahead for a successful day
⭐️ Do a mock set up your table before the market and take a pic for reference
⭐️ Confirm parking options and travel times, check on the weather, and prep healthy and easy to eat food for the day. Don't forget coffee/tea and water!
⭐️ Clear pricing can make or break a sale. Many would-be customers will walk away rather than ask for the cost of an item
⭐️ Be memorable. Draw customers in with a sign, colour and an intriguing display.
⭐️ Don't let them forget you - provide business cards and/or a QR code for repeat sales

CONTAINER WICKS: HTP vs LX vs RRD
If you've visited us in store you know we have a wick ROOM! The wall of choices can be intimidating to newbies, but we're here to help.

We carry 3 ranges of container wicks:
HTP is best for natural vegetable waxes - soy, beeswax, coconut and other blends.
LX is designed for paraffin wax.
RRD worked fantastically with EcoSoya wax, no longer made in North America.

Our tabbed container wicks are made of cotton with a 15mm wick tab, and a vegetable wax coating.

Look for the Wick Selection Guide on the Resources page on our website for more info, or contact us for guidance on which wick is best for you.

NEW! We have Dipping Tanks for our Taper Dipping Frames!
Make your own tapered candles in these durable 7" wide by 18" deep stainless steel dipping tanks fabricated from 1 mm thick stainless steel for long-lasting performance. A 1/2" raised base keeps wax safely elevated above the heat source, ensuring a water barrier for consistent, controlled melting.

I learned a lot in my visit and I thought their prices were very reasonable compared to other options I looked into. I’m excited to start a new hobby!"

CANDLE DYE | What's the difference between Dye Chips and Liquid Candle Dye?
Both candle dye forms achieve vibrant and consistent results, however they do have different pros and cons.
🔹Candle Dye Chips can be cut into halves or quarters for precise recipes, or even shaved into small pieces for very light colours.
💧Liquid Candle Dye can be used for special effects by dripping into melted wax, but can be more messy.
Which do you prefer?
