Imagine lighting a candle and being transported to the rolling purple heather fields of the Scottish highlands, where bees work tirelessly to create nature’s golden treasure. Each flicker carries the story of a season’s hard work and the bond between bees and their keepers.

Meet Sándor and Pawel: The Beekeeping Duo

In the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland, Sándor and Pawel care for over 100 bee colonies, balancing their full-time jobs with their shared love for beekeeping. Their roots in Hungary and Poland bring a rich heritage of beekeeping traditions to their work, and their passion is palpable in everything they do.

Sándor often reminisces about the comforting hum of the bees and the incredible smell of a hive in summer. This is a love letter to their craft and the bees they nurture.

The Scottish Highlands in Every Candle

Every summer, Sándor and Pawel transport their bees to the Scottish Highlands to feast on blooming heather. The result? Heather honey and beeswax infused with the pure essence of the Highlands. This wax is transformed into candles that carry the soul of Scotland, creating a serene ambiance in your home.

The Seasons of Beekeeping: Scotland vs. Hungary

Beekeeping in Scotland is a unique challenge. Unlike Hungary, where the season is longer and bees feast on acacia, rapeseed, sunflower, and linden trees, Scotland offers fewer nectar sources.

Here, the season begins with oilseed rape in spring and culminates with heather honey from the Highlands—a breathtaking sight as purple blooms stretch across the hills. A small amount of wildflower honey might follow, but the season is shorter and more weather-dependent.

In Hungary, beekeepers prepare strong colonies to capitalize on early blooms. But in Scotland, unpredictable weather—like summers where temperatures don’t rise above 12°C—can mean no rapeseed honey and drastically reduced production of both honey and beeswax.

Bees, Climate Change and Sustainability


The difficulties faced by bees in Scotland mirror global challenges brought on by climate change. Rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns disrupt flowering seasons and reduce the availability of nectar. Bees are producing less honey and wax, making sustainable practices more crucial than ever.


Bees are vital to our ecosystems, pollinating the plants and crops that sustain life. Supporting local beekeepers like Sándor and Pawel ensures that bees continue to thrive despite these challenges. Every candle made from their beeswax contributes to this important mission.

Why Supporting Local Matters


Every purchase supports small-scale, sustainable beekeeping and helps protect the essential pollinators that sustain our planet. Bees face increasing challenges from climate change and habitat loss, and collections like this are a step toward preserving their vital work.Buying local also means reducing your carbon footprint and investing in high-quality, ethical products made with care. Sándor and Pawel’s beeswax is a rare treasure, reflecting their commitment to their craft and the environment.
