Since 1954, Hurd Beeswax Candles has been supplying the trade with distinctive, hand crafted beeswax candles. Beginning with the original honeycomb candle, the line now ranges from such items as Bamboo Candles- brush painted in liquid beeswax, to Ribbon Twists and Silhouettes -each individually hand twisted to shape.

Unlike most candles companies, Hurd Beeswax Candles uses no molds, the candles being made of sheets of pure beeswax which are either rolled or pressed to form the candles. The pliablilty of the sheets allows a delicacy and transparency in such candles as the Silhouettes and Iris Leaves that is unobtainable in poured (molded) candles. Because of the tensile strength of beeswax, these desirable features can be incorporated without danger of the candle bending under strong heat conditions, while the high melting point of beeswax assures long burning.

Hurd Beeswax Candle's workshop and retail store has moved from our home of 37 years at the Freemark Abbey complex, due to the expansion of the winery. Our production is now located in an industrial part of the city of St. Helena. Our retail store, demonstration beehive and small candle workshop are located on the main street, in the historic community of Calistoga-just a few miles north of our old home.
