*Because beeswax burns more slowly than paraffin wax or soy wax, it requires a sturdier, larger wick than what is used for paraffin candles or soy candles. Keep in mind that the way a wick burns will vary based on many factors, including the size of the container and how refined the beeswax is. I’ve shared which wick size has worked for me using refined beeswax and the jars above, but it may take a little experimentation to find the perfect size for your wax/container combo.
