Beekeeper here! I have not watched the whole video, yet, but wanted to comment before I forget! Some people may not know that the beautiful light colored wax is from cappings that are removed prior to honey extractions. It is possible to buy wax that is already a bit darker if it comes from older wax that bees have been crawling over for some time. Just didn’t want people to think that if a local beekeeper is selling slightly darker wax, that it was somehow previously heated to a higher temperature.

something i learned from a German professional beekeeper and candlemaker: you're supposed to "flood" the wick. first dip, you hold the wick in the waxbath for 10-15 sec, or until no more air bubbles rise up from it. this ensures that the wick is actually filled with wa and imrovs performance, apparently.

Peter the Great once declared: “I’m a student and I seek teachers.” In my opinion, Rajiv is one of those worthy teachers.

I am a beekeeper and I am so glad to see this video. Beeswax is made from honey. Honey is made by bees by collecting pollen and nectar from plants. Plants make nectar and pollen. This is ambrosia. A very rarefied substance. So, after bees gather the pollen and nectar and make the honey, their bodies excrete the wax from their abdomens. Then, Rajiv gets the wax and makes beautiful candles from this amazing substance. These are very very special candles.

The joy of making something slowly, by hand, and alone... these videos remind me of what it is to be human and truly alive.

Rajiv’s tutorials are always the best because he thinks of every mistake I’m going to make😂 and addresses them before I start.

I think you’ll like this beautiful prayer which is part of our Catholic Easter Vigil, Rajiv:<br><br>On this, your night of grace, O holy Father,<br>accept this candle, a solemn offering,<br>the work of bees and of your servants' hands,<br>an evening sacrifice of praise,<br>this gift from your most holy Church.<br><br>But now we know the praises of this pillar,<br>which glowing fire ignites for God's honor,<br>a fire into many flames divided,<br>yet never dimmed by sharing of its light,<br>for it is fed by melting wax,<br>drawn out by mother bees<br>to build a torch so precious.
