I didn't know where to put this post, since beeswax is techniquely not "vegetable" wax. Anyway, I'd like to make some beeswax pillars just for me and maybe for gifts. I can't find much information on beeswax candles, other than a post that suggested using cotton square braided wicks. I was just wondering things like: Can I expect to wick up with beeswax? How is a beeswax pillar suppose to burn, for example, how far out should the melt pool go? Can you hug it, or is it more like soy, where it just burns down the center? Sorry, I hate posts like this where there are a million silly questions, but if any of you have experience with beeswax, I would love to hear about it. I'd just like to know what to expect when I start working with it. Thanks. BTW, I did just find a good source for beeswax for West Coast folks. Here it is: http://hiveharvest.com
