We are Queen Bee Candle Company. About 15 years ago, our mom had tinkered with soapmaking and candlemaking for local craft fairs, and made a little money, but mostly enjoyed the crafting end of it. Sales slowed and she liquidated her inventory, but we always remembered how much fun it had been to see the kitchen so busy with great-smelling stuff. When she went home to be with the Lord in 2008, we started out making candles from a Peak's soy container kit for a project to therapeutically keep our minds occupied with something creative and productive. We ordered another to make Christmas gifts for family, and we were hooked. We later had requests from gift recipients for more, and landed on the idea that this neat hobby could also generate some extra pocket money. So, we did our homeworks, got all the proper licensings, insurance, etc. Our workshop is in the home our mother left us, and we feel such a comforting presence like her spirit watching over us, that we wanted to incorporate her into the business. Our nickname for her was The Queen, always said with great love and affection, so Queen Bee Candle company was the only name that seemed to be a unique fit for us. My husband is a graphic artist and free-handed our logo, which is the Queen Bee herself. The three little gemstones on her crown represent my sister, my mom, and myself
