Do a search on "beeswax" in this forum. You'll find all kinds of info, including my recent wick tests.

Beeswax likes big wicks. I've had most luck with the square braided cotton.

If you're going to color the wax and fragrance it, why not just use another wax? Beeswax is expensive and already has a wonderful fragrance.
