Historic Bee Skep Candle natural From softening and moisturizing skinpure beeswax 4. 6cm wide by 6. 4cm tall (1. 8" x 2. 5") approximate burn time 8 12 hours This candle is a lovely nod to historical times when bee skeps were given to Dutch newlyweds, who paraded the skep through town in celebration. Keeping bees in skeps is a method from days of old, no longer in use due to the modern day pests, such as varroa mites, that can overtake a hive. Skeps were made from grasses wound and tied into a domed shape.
