ELITE SELECTION Clear Cup Yellow Tea Light Candles Bulk Candles Pack of 48 - Pure Refined Bees Wax for Smokeless Burning - 4.5 Hour Long Burning Tealight Votive Candles - for Holiday, Home Decoration

Amazing Item!!

Pure Bee's Wax? There is no natural honey scent to these candles and they lack the natural color of true bee's wax. In fact there is no scent at all and the color is a pale yellow. I purchased these because another supplier I have used before did not have the size I needed. I suspect these are soy candles priced and advertised as bee's wax. Other than the fact that they provide light and burn clean, they are not what they purport to be.

Compared 'Elite Selection' Beeswax Tea Lights side-by-side with the same sized Bluecorn Beeswax Tea Lights. The Bluecorn lasted longer 100% of the time in over 12 different tests. The Elite Selection tealights nearly always had a significant amount of unused wax after the wick had burnt out versus a nominal amount, or none at all, with the Bluecorn tealights.

I should have recognized this at the time of purchase, but these candles come in hard plastic. One of the first ones we lit melted the plastic which is neither good for indoor air quality or ductwork. I will purchase beeswax candles in future, but next time I will look for tea lights that come in tin vs. plastic.On the plus side, they do last long (for tealights) and there is no unpleasant smell.

I ordered these tea lights for two main reasons. 1) They are beeswax--which burns a bit cleaner and slower, smells nice, supports bee industry, 2)They are in clear containers which look the best in my glass tea light holders. I also can refill these containers, where the aluminum are too fragile. The company delivered them in a timely fashion and all candles came in good shape. My only (very slight) complaint is that the 48 candles did not fill the box so I had the feeling that they were not all there. The candles were all there, but it may make me hesitant to gift them. I would definitely order again. Thanks!!!

These are really nice candles. I took them out of the little plastic containers and put them in regular votives. They have a wonderful light smell to them and I have very sensitive sinuses so if they don't bother me most people wouldn't even smell them.There is no sooty junk like paraffin petroleum candles have and burned very brightly for almost 4 hours. Why would anyone think it is a good idea to burn petroleum in your home anyway? A little expensive though but with quality comes a bigger price tag.
