In 2016, I found myself grappling with a profound sense of discontent in my corporate job, yearning for a venture that would resonate with my values and contribute positively to the world. On one unforeseen afternoon at a local farmer’s market, I encountered a stand adorned with exquisite beeswax candles, their warm luminescence and rich, natural honey aroma drawing me in. As I engaged the vendor in conversation, I learned about the myriad of health benefits beeswax gives and the critical role that pollinators play in our ecosystem. Inspired, I envisioned establishing a family business under the name Bees Light Candles, dedicated to crafting exquisite, healthier candles while concurrently supporting the bees that are indispensable to our environment.
As the fledgling business gained traction, we steadfastly committed to our mission of sustainability and the creation of superior quality products. We allocated a portion of our candles profits to local and national bee conservation initiatives such as the NAPPC. Sourced with only the highest quality beeswax from apiaries, each candle we produced from the luxurious wax was not merely a product; it was a testament to our collective dedication to fostering a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable planet.
In 2024, recognizing that our brand was in need of evolving. I undertook a comprehensive rebranding initiative, refining our logo as well as company image to encompass a broader range of offerings, including home décor and honey related products. With the revamping of style our objective was to create a cohesive lifestyle brand that celebrated the splendor of nature while maintaining a commitment to sustainability. Furthermore, we implemented much more eco-friendly packaging for our shipping processes, reaffirming our dedication to environmental stewardship. This new direction invigorated us, as we envisioned our products not only enriching homes but also further contributing to the preservation of the vital pollinators that inspired our work.
