Thanks for the nice comments on the candles.
We hope the worst is over with the bees. Time will tell.
The same fragrance overload happens with beeswax. Daughter and I can't smell it. We had two teenage girls working for us last summer. The first day at work, they came in and their faces lite up. They said how good it smelled in the office. A week later when they came in, their faces drooped - both exclaimed "we can't smell it anymore!" My daughter also does soap with essential oils which does contribute to the smell, but one of her show booths is just candles and many people comment on how good it smells - we can't smell a thing!
The horse and the rooster molds I purchased on Ebay. See my other post about good molds for serious candle makers. The molds are very good and will last longer than the standard hobbyist type mold one usually gets on Ebay. These are two of the big ones, but there are some smaller ones listed also. The seller is selling off some molds from a candle factory that they purchased.
Beeswax picks up a lot of detail and not having to overdip keeps the detail. We wick the candle when we pour it. Beeswax needs a square braid all cotton wick.
