FAQ

Won't they melt?
No, beeswax has a melting point of 142 degrees.
It will not melt in your home.  Just like a candle won't melt unless you light it,
beeswax ornaments remain beautiful year after year.


Can I store them in the attic?
Attic storage is not recommended.
They won't melt, but they might warp.
We suggest storing them in a closet or drawer or basement.


My ornament turned white.  What's going on?
Beeswax develops a white haze over time.  This is called the bloom.
It develops more rapidly in cold temperatures.
Beeswax likes to be warm, and simply rinsing the ornament
with warm water will wash the bloom away.
My favorite way of cleaning the ornament 
is to take a blow dryer and run it over
the ornament until it turns shiny again.


Can a broken ornament be fixed?
Unfortunately, just as glass will break if you drop it,
wax ornaments will also break.   Some people try to warm
the broken pieces and stick them back together; but the results
are not usually acceptable; replacing the ornament is best.


Why does beeswax smell so good?
There is some residual honey left in the wax after refining.
The scent of my ornaments is the natural honey smell.
Warmth will bring out the scent.


It is possible to add a scent to my ornament?
Yes, just rub a little essential oil or perfume
on the back of the ornament,
and refresh whenever you wish.
