Historic Bee Skep Candle
- pure beeswax
- 4.6cm wide by 6.4cm tall (1.8" x 2.5")
- approximate burn time 8-12 hours
This candle is a lovely nod to historical times when bee skeps were given to Dutch newlyweds, who paraded the skep through town in celebration. Keeping bees in skeps is a method from days of old, no longer in use due to the modern-day pests, such as varroa mites, that can overtake a hive. Skeps were made from grasses wound and tied into a domed shape.
