100% Pure Beeswax Pillar Candles Handcrafted in Colorado

Experience the cleanest, longest-lasting burn with our pure beeswax candles, handmade in Colorado by Bluecorn Candles — a craft company with over 30 years of experience. We’re experts at sourcing premium-grade, sustainably harvested beeswax from U.S. beekeepers and transforming it by hand into high-performance candles that look, smell, and burn beautifully.

Many beeswax candles struggle with tunneling or weak flames due to impurities in the wax. Not ours. We lightly filter our beeswax—removing just enough particulate to ensure a strong, consistent flame—while preserving the candle’s golden color and naturally sweet honey aroma. Each candle is poured with care in small batches and finished with a cotton wick.

Maybe I got a lemon

I was a bit disappointed, as I have read so many positive things about BlueCorn candles. My pillar did not burn evenly, it smoked, I had to trim the wick several times while it was lit. It seemed to burn strait down the center, exposing more and more wick. Other than that, I do love the beeswax. I’m hoping this is just a one-off and the remainder of the candles in my order will burn more smoothly.

Hi Donna,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really sorry you’re not having the easiest time with this pillar. You’re always welcome to reach out to us directly whenever something feels off — we’re genuinely happy to help troubleshoot, and our production team truly appreciates the feedback.

From the photo, it looks like the sidewalls may just need gentle molding toward the flame during the burn. That helps the candle use all its fuel and keeps the wick from getting overexposed. Wick trimming is definitely part of caring for these pillars, especially to control smoking and ensure the wick burns properly. The best way to maintain an even burn is nudging the wick back toward the center when it starts to lean, since we don’t use metal cores in our wicks to keep them perfectly upright for the whole burn.

We’re here for you, and we want the rest of your candles to burn beautifully. Feel free to reply to this review if you’d like help getting this one back on track.

Many thanks,
Leslie and The Bluecorn Team

Proudly Made in ‘Merica

These American honey bees don’t mess around. The communist beeswax candles that my wife used to buy don’t even compare. This American candle smells like honey, it glows with Freedom and burns evenly. Shoot, it smells good even when it isn’t burning. Those American bees should be proud of their work. God bless!

Hi MDiddy,
Thank you for this fantastic review — it gave me a good smile! I’m so glad our pure beeswax candle delivered that rich honey aroma and clean, even burn you were hoping for. We’re pretty proud of the hardworking bees behind it too.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Bee well,

Incredibly clean burning and gorgeous candles!

We’ve ordered the same pillars twice from Blue Corn now! They smell heavenly, burn so cleanly, and if you take care of the wick like the instructions tell you, they last AGES! We use them every weekend for sabbath and throughout the week for enjoyment and ambiance. We’re sold on Blue Corn for life!

Hi Abby,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a glowing review of our Pure Beeswax Pillar Candles! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying their clean burn and heavenly scent. It's great to know that you are also taking care of the wick as instructed, which helps the candle last longer. We are honored to have you as a loyal customer and we look forward to providing you with more amazing candles in the future.
Warmly,
Jennifer

We love your candles and buy them every year. They burn beautifully and cleanly with rarely a drip issue. Love the natural color but we occasionally buy different colors for rituals. Wonderfully reliable and delivered promptly. Thank you for providing us with these beautiful candles.

Love the candles but they smoke

I love Bluecorn candles, use the beeswax tapers almost every day and like the pillar candles in the evening, however, no matter how I trim the wick, there always seems to be smoke coming up. I can see it at my air purifier as well. There is no breeze where the candles are located, inside a hurricane candle holder.
But they burn a long time, which of course is great!

Hi Claudia,

Thank you so much for reaching out, and for being such a loyal beeswax taper and pillar user — I love hearing that they’re part of your daily routine.

I’m really sorry you’re seeing smoke, especially since you’re already trimming the wick and keeping things draft‑free. With the 4' diameter pillars, the wick has to be quite strong to burn that large candle properly, and that hotter burn can make them more prone to smoking. Using a hurricane holder can amplify that effect because the enclosed space traps heat and pushes the flame a little hotter than usual.

If you’re open to it, please reply with a quick photo or short video of what you’re seeing would be incredibly helpful. I can run it by our production team and make sure nothing unusual is going on with the wick or burn pattern.

Many thanks,

Leslie and The Bluecorn Team.

The Perfect Pillar - 4x4 Inch Natural Beeswax

Not only did this candle smell divine, but the flame burned beautifully calm and quiet while a glorious, even wax pool developed within the recommended burn time. Perfection! Thank you, Bluecorn Candles! 💛🐝

Hi Beth,
Thank you so much for such a glowing review! Hearing that you experienced a clean, quiet burn and that ideal wax pool makes our hearts full—proper burn time really makes all the difference with pure beeswax. We’re thrilled you loved the natural scent and candle experience. Thank you for supporting Bluecorn Candles! 🐝

These are great candles

They burn slowly and evenly, most importantly they are safe to use with the birds in the house, I will buy again. Bluecorn also has the best customer service!!
This batch had very little scent compared to the first batch I received, I rather liked the smell of the wax.

Hi CatLady,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for trusting our candles in a home with feathered friends! 🐦 We’re so glad to hear you love our customer service and the clean, slow burn.
Regarding the scent variation—because our pure beeswax comes straight from the hive, its natural aroma and color can subtly shift from batch to batch depending on what flowers the bees were foraging on! We’re so glad you enjoy that natural sweet honey smell, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. Thanks for being such a great part of the Bluecorn family!
Gratefully,
Leslie and The Bluecorn Team.

So far so good

Seems to burn more slowly.

Hi Debbie,
Thank you for the review! You have a great eye—pure beeswax actually has a naturally high melting point, which means our pillar candles do burn significantly slower, cleaner, and longer than soy or paraffin candles. We are so glad you're enjoying that slow, cozy burn!

Warmly,
Leslie and The Bluecorn Team.

Beeswax pillars: one of life's great pleasures

Everything about Blue Corn Naturals beeswax pillars and tapers is pleasure inducing. For me it is a little pricey, so I value them even more than manyother objects than I love. I love supporting a woman owned business and in my old job I met the mother of the owner when she saw that we carried Blue Corn natural products and introduced herself. So I'm all about the support and putting my hard earned money towards something that has value from beginning to end. Not just for me but for our community of women.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful review. We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much joy our beeswax pillars and tapers bring to your life, and hearing that they hold such a valued place in your home truly means the world to our team.
We also wanted to gently clarify a quick detail: while we aren't a woman-owned business, we are incredibly proud of the dedicated, diverse team of women and men who craft our candles and run our day-to-day operations. It is a true labor of love for all of us, and your support directly helps our close-knit team and community thrive.
Gratefully,
Leslie & The Bluecorn Team

Disappointed

The wick is so large. It is burning SO QUICKLY. Not at all what I expected.

Hi Deborah,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are so sorry to hear that your pillar candle is burning faster than expected! Pure beeswax is loved for its exceptionally long, slow burn, so this definitely isn't the experience we want you to have.

We want to make sure you get the beautiful burn you expected, so please reply directly to this review or reach out to us with a picture of your candle. We'd love to take a closer look at what's going on so we can get this taken care of for you!

All the best, Leslie and The Bluecorn Team.

Strong light and kills cooking odors

First time using a beeswax candle. I am impressed. I would use it constantly if they weren’t so costly.

Hi Maggie,
Thank you so much for giving our beeswax candles a try — I’m really glad to hear you’re impressed by the bright, steady light and how well they clear out cooking odors. Beeswax really is something special.
I totally understand the note about cost. Each candle is made from pure, filtered beeswax (no fillers), which is why they burn longer and cleaner than most waxes. Many customers find they last so long that they end up using fewer candles overall, but I appreciate you sharing your honest experience.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review — it means a lot.
Have a beautiful day,
Jennifer & The Bluecorn Team

Love it!

The 4x6 Pillar candle was the centerpiece for our table this winter. It brought light, ritual, and coziness to us all winter. It burned perfectly, no issues.

Hi Katie,
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love hearing that the 4x6 pillar became part of your winter ritual — that’s exactly what we hope these candles bring. I’m thrilled it burned beautifully for you all season.
Have a beautiful day,

I've just recently discovered Bluecorn beeswax candles and my husband and I both love them! Very clean burning and the faint smell up close is natural and not toxic smelling at all!

That clean burn and the faint, natural honey aroma are exactly what we love most about pure beeswax, so it means a lot to hear it’s coming through for you. We’re grateful to have you here and hope you continue to enjoy every burn.
Many thanks,
