I love the power of the simple. Here this takes on the costume of these 100% beeswax candles made here in my very own nest.

I source the wax through my neighbor and beekeeper Roy who dropped out of high school once he found this passion. The bees themselves reside in Marin County, which certainly serves to make these creations “local”.

I was also pretty blown away when I made the calculations that it would take just 1 bee around 675,000 hours (or 80 years!) to make the pound of wax used in the creation of these single candles. Which, in turn, translates to a mere $0.0000035 per hour for a $27 candle!

Beautiful smelling, beautiful looking… let the illumination recharge and rejuvinate!
