Here are some more information for Beeswax Snuff:
Candles from Hearts and Flowers Primitives help create a warm and inviting atmosphere in many homes, offices, and even some high school classrooms. Candles are a joy to burn, and many families use the lighting of the candles in their homes as an end of the work/school day ritual. For these families the lighting of the candle symbolizes the beginning of their time together for the day and a time to forget the stress and the hassle from work or school.
Few things make a home as cozy as a burning candle, and even fewer things can make a home smell as wonderful as our candles. Whether you are burning a Juicy Apple jar candle, an Evening Mocha cake candle, or any of our other great candles, there are several things you should consider when lighting the candle to ensure it is a safe and enjoyable experience.
First things first. Be sure to place your candle (even jar candles) on a heat resistant surface, such as a metal candle pan, away from curtains, gas stoves, and other flammable materials. It is highly recommended that you place your candle where pets and children cannot be hurt by it or knock it over. One of the biggest problems people face with candles is a draft. Try to keep your candles away from opening and closing doors and ceiling fans because a draft can cause your candle to burn unevenly and inefficiently.
All of our candles are made in the United States, and most of them are hand poured. Because the workers need to hold on to the long wicks during the pouring process the wick of the candle needs to be cut to 1/4" before the candle is lit. This wick length should be maintained throughout the life of the candle. Many scented candles will form mushroom type shapes of soot on the end of the wick. If this happens, cut these forms from the wick. Also make sure that none of the particles fall into the pool of wax. If they fall in try to get them out before the wax hardens around the pieces.
It is a good idea to keep the flame of the candle at a maximum of 3/4" all the time and to burn the candle evenly each time you light it. It is recommended that you burn the candle for one hour for each inch of diameter of the candle. So if you have a 4" diameter candle you would want to burn it for about 4 hours each time you light it so that you maximize the burn-time of the candle.
If you are burning a jar candle that came with a lid do not use the lid to snuff out the candle. The lids are primarily decorative and are not made to withstand the heat of a burning candle. It is always best to gently blow out your candles; just don't blow too hard and splatter the melted wax!
You should discard your candle when there is one inch of wax remaining. Here is another great tip. You don't have to throw that candle shell or leftover wax in the trash. You can use the shell of the candle or the leftover wax in one of our great tart warmers. This way you get to use all of the scented wax and have little or no waste from your candle.
The most important thing to remember when burning a candle is to use common sense. If you think it isn't in a safe spot, move it. If you don't think you'll remember to blow it out, leave yourself a note by your bed. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and always remember safety first.
Now you know how to get the most out of your candles so you can enjoy every hour of glow, scent, and pleasure from our high quality candles.

How temperatures affect honey and beeswax, also how to handle bee stings
Beekeeping is a favorite pastime, or even a profession nowadays due to the various allowances and benefits offered.
The bees produce wax in small scales. These scales are build under the abdomen of the bee. By gorge with sugar syrup or honey, bees stimulate the production of beeswax. To raise the temperature of the cluster, the bees collect.
It is necessary for the bees to consume at least ten pounds of honey to produce one pound of wax. However, bees are producing more wax if they feed on sugar. Beeswax, when cooled rapidly after passing through the heat becomes brittle and pale. Rapid contraction also results in the development of cracks.
This is one of the main reasons why the wax is cooled gradually to ensure the preservation of color and texture. Melt beeswax in a water bath. It is highly recommended not to raise the melting point of wax too as this can result in reduced aroma.
Make sure you do not place on the gas stove or hot plate, the pan of wax directly. If you overeat, beeswax tends to be damaged. The melting of the beeswax must make use of aluminum, plastic, steel or silver tin containers. If you melt the wax in copper, brass or galvanized iron skillet, which tends to change color.
For heating of honey, you should use a picture of heating, the furnace, such as manual control of temperature or water bath.
If you get stung by bees, you will find that even after the bee was away, the bomb and poison sac are left on the skin. During the first twenty seconds or so, the poison is injected into the system. If you want to minimize the effect of poison, it is recommended to take the sting out fast.
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no arm to squeeze the bee sting if you do it immediately. This will minimize the harmful effects of poison. You can use a hive tool or even thinner nails to scratch the bite.
To stop other stinging bees in the same area, the alarm pheromone should be effectively masked by the snuff in the area. For immediate relief, you can get away from the hive and apply a soothing lotion such as calamine or witch hazel. A package of frozen peas or ice effectively reduces inflammation and pain.
If a bee stings, that through his clothes, ten you can remove clothing and smoke from the area immediately. It is highly recommended to wear protective clothing when working with bees. For delicate tasks like cutting and marking the queen, you should use tin love and protect her. The use of love also ensures that the hands are kept clean and free of bacteria. If you are a beginner, you should wear full protective clothing when working with bees.
Beekeeping is a wonderful experience and follows certain safety procedures; you can make this very lucrative and enjoyable.
