Fig | Beeswax Candle
Melissas Figs. Growing on the tree at the edge of my sisters house are delicious figs, I think i’m the only one who eats them. Sometimes. I will pull down her driveway not to say hello but to steal a fig and then disappear again. The blossom of the fig tree is hiding inside the fruit - I love this.
These candles are an ode to the figs that bring me joy on my drive by fig stealing moments.

Beeswax is made by honeybees building combs in their hives. Beekeepers extract the honey from the combs and they are left with the wax, a beautiful by-product of an incredible process of nature. No waste and sustainable.
Not only that - beeswax is said to have a completely clean, non-toxic burn that releases negative ions into the air which bind with toxins and help remove them from the air. It also lasts - beeswax has been found in ancient Egypt in tombs dating back to 1550 B.C. A pretty good expiry date then.
Also, I have heard that the colour of the light that is emitted from a beeswax candle flame is the same spectrum as the sun! Now that’s impressive.
In candles, beeswax burns longer and without soot- better for you, better for your kids and most definitely better for your white walls. They also drip less, smell good and are a beautiful colour all by themselves, completely naturally.
In an increasingly fragile world- beeswax is 100% natural and a renewable resource. The beekeeper we work with -Russell, and his team in the South Island NZ, are dedicated to educating and upskilling budding beekeepers and looking after generations of bees with passion and care.
“If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to live.” Albert Einstein
