HAND-ROLLED
BEESWAX
CANDLES
The gift of a small observation hive—given to her son who expressed
interest in beekeeping 15 years ago—has since blossomed into a
bee-centric lifestyle for Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning®
instructor, Joyce Wilder. Becoming captivated by the buzzing
pollinators herself, she now manages several hives in her
New Cumberland backyard and enjoys experimenting
with the products of bees, including honey and beeswax.
One of Joyce’s favorite bee crafts is rolling beeswax
candles. Environmentally friendly and non-toxic
in nature, these easy-to-make candles offer a
cleaner burning experience with no added
fragrances or colorings.

own hand-rolled candles at home!
