'Timeless' is the plain one, on purpose. No pattern, no design - a smooth, round pillar of 100% pure Pacific Northwest beeswax that goes with any room you put it in. The soft honey scent you'll notice was there before we were: it comes with the wax from the hive, and nothing was added to it. It burns slow and bright, and one pillar keeps coming back night after night.

  • Approximately 65 hours of burn time - one pillar covers weeks of evenings.
  • 3" wide, 4" tall. Light it on a fire-resistant plate every time - our 3" stainless plate is made for exactly this size.
  • Naturally fragrance-free - easy around sensitive noses, kids, and pets.

How long should I burn a 3x4 beeswax pillar?

About three hours at a stretch - one hour for every inch of width. That's how long the melt pool takes to reach the edge, and a full melt pool is what keeps a pillar burning evenly all the way down instead of tunneling. Beeswax is a hard, dense wax, so it burns slowly; a 3x4 pillar gives you around 65 hours in total.

Two small things that help: keep it out of a draft, and know that the wick is meant to curl to one side as it burns. If one side of the pillar is staying thicker, nudge the wick the other way while the wax is soft.

The patterned pillars burn the same wax the same way - see the rest of the pillars.

Candle care tip

Give a pillar a full first burn - one hour for every inch of width. A 3" pillar wants about a three-hour first light, long enough for the melt pool to reach the outer edge. That even first burn is what keeps a pillar from tunneling down the middle and wasting the outer wall. Always burn on a fire-safe plate or in a holder. the melt pool rule, explained โ†’

Why Pure Beeswax Pillars

Pacific Northwest & USA Sourced

100% pure premium beeswax from Pacific Northwest beekeepers, with 100% cotton wicks. Nothing blended in.

Only Pure Beeswax

Big Moon candles have no added fragrance, so nothing synthetic goes into the air you share. The only scent is the soft honey note of the wax itself. the candles that were causing my migraines โ†’

Naturally Fragrance-Free

The EPA calls a product fragrance-free when no fragrance materials or masking scents are used at all. Pure beeswax has zero added fragrance and still carries a soft honey note of its own - the only candle wax that does. we wrote about the difference โ†’

100% Pure Beeswax

Every Big Moon candle is 100% pure beeswax, selected from Pacific Northwest apiaries. Because bees make it, the color and scent shift a little with the season - soft yellow to rich gold. That natural variation is the signature, not a flaw.

Burns uniquely

This pattern burns in a very unique way compared to the other pillar candles on this site (based on my experience). The outer part of the candle maintains its hexagonal frame as the inner wax melts, which casts a lovely, artistic shadow. I've enjoyed this candle so much that I feel guilty burning it! It's such a beautiful piece, and I love the subtle smell of honey that eminates from the wax.

Warmest Glow

Couldnโ€™t be happier with my experience ordering candles from Big Moon Beeswax. Not only did the candles arrive well packaged but the smell of beeswax greets you the moment you open the box. The glow from a beeswax candle is warmer than other candles. Maybe can be likened to the difference between incandescent lightbulbs and fluorescent bulbs. Itโ€™s just a warmer more calming glow. Burn time is fantastic on these as well. Iโ€™ll definitely be ordering again. Thank you!

special people deserve special candles

I got this candle as a gift for the birthday of the friend I spend the recent lunar eclipse with. We watched the moon become shadowed as it rose over Mt. Hood. It was a perfect evening for sitting and watching the moon (mostly) disappear in the shadow of the earth; not too late, not too hot or cold, no bright lights, comfortable chairs, plenty of kombucha and heartfelt friendship. This candle depicts the scene perfectly!!

Hi Connie, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story! We're delighted the candle brought a special touch to your lunar eclipse evening. Your kind words mean a lot to us. Wishing you many more memorable moments!

Bee cozy!
Bryce

let there be light...

there is such a golden glow to these beeswax candles; it is the light of love and feels like a blessing. i ordered several types to have for celebrations, and for power outage emergencies, and for those dark mornings when the glow of candlelight can make the room feel warmer.

Hi Connie, we're so glad you love the warm glow of our beeswax candles! Thank you for sharing your honest opinion as that helps other customers decide what candles will be best for them.

Bee Cozy!

I love these candles!

I have been buying these candles for the past 6 years now, and they can't be beat. I've been gifted or tried others. There is no comparison. My husband and I are sensitive and don't like or tolerate scents well. Beeswax candles are the healthiest cleanest option and in doing my research I discovered Big Moon. Sometimes there is a scent, but it is a natural sweet aroma, extremely mild, and we adore it. These are high quality and beautiful. When the pillars melt and start to fall apart it is like a piece of artwork. In fall and winter, when it is always dark when we get up in the morning, we light a Big Moon votive and drink our coffee. Most mornings without even a lamp. It's divine! I am sounding like a commercial now but these are wonderful Holiday gifts. I love that this business is family owned. They are easy to contact and quick to ship.

Quality Candle, Phenomenal Smell!

I received my fall candle recently and I've been burning it almost every day for several hours because I love how it smells! The leaf pattern is clear and elegant. The wick is straight and burns cleanly. But, guys, the smell! Prior to burning it didn't smell like anything. That wasn't a big deal for me because I prefer unscented candles. However, once I burned it, there was this lovely, very mild honey smell. Just enough that you're not overpowered, but enough that you can catch the occasional whiff. After burning, the smell remained in the candle wax. I periodically pick it up and sniff it because it smells so nice. I live some place that doesn't experience Fall these days, but it reminds me of growing up on the East Coast near meaderies and apple orchards just as the leaves turn. Nice memories. <3

So relaxing

I have already written a few reviews for some other the other sizes that I have purchased from Big Moon. All of their candles are high quality well crafted beeswax candles that burn evenly and give off a pleasant honey scent. I really like the different designs that they have to purchase. So, depending on the season or your mood, you have options to pick from. A great candle company. I am enjoying burning them all around my house.

Such a Relaxing Glow

For many years I burnt candles around my house mostly scented ones. But after a few hours I would have to put them out because they would make my head and throat feel bad. I switched to oil candles and they were pretty good, but they had a faint oil scent which was not pleasant. Then I researched what would be the best candle to burn without side effects and beeswax candles were recommended. That's how I found Big Moon Beeswax candles. They were the number one recommended brand for 100 percent beeswax. I have ordered a couple of different sizes to find the best ones for me. I really like this 3x5 pillar candle. It burns evenly and smells amazing with a faint scent of warm honey. Since I like to burn candles all day and almost everyday, I chose this pillar because of it's long burning time. They emit a beautiful golden glow and warm honey scent. I have finally found a candle that doesn't make me feel bad. The candles arrive beautifully packaged with earth friendly packaging and a little extra gift of thanks. I really like this company and will be supporting them for life. Because I never want to run out of these candles. They are more expensive than other candles, but not feeling ill after a few hours is worth it. My house is my sanctuary and now it feels like it. A very happy customer.

Too pretty to burn

The hardest part of fall is tucking the garden in until next season. But this candle offers memories of brilliant blooms, buzzing bees, and cascading vines that come together to choreograph the beauty of a PNW summer.

Golden glow

I just wrote a review for this candle, I mentioned that the 3x4 pillar was my favorite, but I had forgotten that I also ordered the 3x6 pillars too. I did order multiple sizes just to see which one would be the best fit for me. The 3x6 is my favorite because it burns the longest. That being said, I use both sizes to fill my home with golden light and the smell of honey. The different sizes adds depth to the area that I place my candles. The packaging is so special and the quality of these candles is unsurpassed. I can't stop ordering them. I am so glad that I found these beeswax candles.

Hi Connie, thank you so much for your wonderful review! That gentle honey scent is very popular and we have the bees to thank for that.

Lovely high quality beeswax candles. Arrived quickly and so nicely packaged. They smell of warm honey. I'm so excited to use them tonight.

Hi Connie and thank you for your feedback! The Ivory beeswax snowflake pillar really does show off it's many different snowflake designs the longer it glows. Hope you enjoy your cozy fall evenings by candlelight!

The Queen Bee

I only allow 100% beeswax candles in my home and now, after trying many brands and makers, I only buy Big Moon Beeswax. The burn, color, fragrance and light is simply incomparable. It's a delight to buy from artisans who care about the bees and me! Honestly, these candles feel sacred.

Hi Kay, thank you so much for your beautiful words! We're thrilled to hear you love our beeswax candles and appreciate the care we put into them. Your support means the world to us! Stay tuned for more designs :)

Bee Cozy!

There are none better

We have tried so many examples from many different sources and have not found any to compare. Others do not burn correctly or are missing the wonderful scent from Big Moon candles. I'm not sure what voodoo Bryce has going with the bees but it works the best!

The New Standard in Waxy Elegance

Big Moon is THE BEST beeswax candle source around. Period. We've got a place nearby but the quality of their offerings pales in comparison. These larger 3x6 candles burn clean and bright and smell amazing. No blemishes, the wicks are PERFECT and they last a long time. Make sure to order a few as you may want to place them in multiple locations. Thanks, Big Moon for all that you do!

Thank you for such a great review! You're making us blush :) We are artisan candle makers and would never sell you anything we wouldn't light in our own home. We're working on new candle designs so keep an eye out.

Bee Cozy!

Very Elegant Wax

So happy with this candle! Ordered on a lark and now it's our favorite. Absolutely adore the honeycomb design and appreciate all the craftsmanship that goes into ALL of Big Moon's candles but this one in particular is a superstar. Long-burning, aesthetically pleasing and it smells so heavenly. Do not hesitate to pick one up (or a dozen!) today. Your life will instantly be improved.
