The cup candles 100% beeswas?

[ChristianPoulsen]

Hi my first year as a beekeeper, been exciting.
Today I made my first candle from the beeswas.
It burned with a smaller flame then those non beeswas you buy in stores, but after 5hours it died.
There were still lots of wax left, so I lighted again and it burned perfect, like one from stores, for 30 sec, then the flame got really small and it died again.

So now I wonder schould i mix something into the wax?

How do you make your beeswax candles?

It sounds like maybe your wick isn't large enough.

I also don't think your wick was big enough. My beeswax candles have a very high flame. What kind of candle did you make (i.e. pillar, votive, container)?

Thanks for the advice.
I will try with larger whicks
