"According to Roy Morgan Research, if every household spent an additional $10 a week on Australian Made products, for a year, it would inject an extra $5 billion into the economy each year and create up to 11,000 new jobs."

Let us take care of that $10pw for you (although we'll only charge you quarterly) and we'll throw in an extra 7.5% value to sweeten the deal.

Pay $130 per quarter and we'll give you $140 to spend on any product in the store (including already discounted products... yep, double dipping is allowed)!

Minimum subscription is 2 quarters (to stop people from gaming the system). The benefit for you is locking in extra value and the benefit we need in return is certainty of income by locking in sales.

Please note: The full amount must be used in a single transaction and is valid for one year. Unfortunately due to software limitations this amount cannot be used for shipping or in conjunction with other discount codes.

Common questions:

When will I receive my voucher / discount code?
Within 1 business day (it is done manually so we need to be at work to do it)!

How long do I have to use the subscription voucher code?

You have 12 months to use that discount code. Some customers seem to be choosing to save them up to do their Christmas shopping at a discount and others use them pretty much as soon as we send the code through to them. It is completely up to you as to how and when you spend it.

Can I buy anything I like / do I need to buy the same thing each time?

You can put anything you like in your cart and then use that discount code (ie we assume you’re going to buy different things each quarter or whatever takes your fancy each time). There is no restriction on what you can buy with the discount code.

Are there any limitations?

The limitations (which are limitations of the software)

1. the discount code must be used in one transaction

2. the code won’t apply to the cost of shipping

3. Shopify (the platform our website is on because it is the securest ecommerce platform in the world) doesn’t allow customers to use multiple discount codes per order. So, you can buy already discounted products (like bulk packs or things that are on sale or marked down), but you wouldn’t be able to take advantage of a discount code offer from the newsletter and then also use this discount code because it doesn’t know how to do that.

25cm x 7.5cm Paschal candle

$130.00

Tax included.

A Paschal candle is a large candle used at liturgy in the Christian church. The flame of the Paschal candle symbolises Christ's light and his presence.

Dimensions:25cm (H) x 7.5cm (W)

Burn time: over 160 hours

This stunning pillar is 25cm tall and 7.5cm wide and packs a punch with it's beautiful large flame. Due to its width, it needs to be burned for periods of 3 hours or more at a time.

It is also a stunning candle for impact at weddings and events.

No Minimum Burn Time

Due to the narrow width of these candles they have no minimum burn time. You can burn them for as long or as short a period as you would like.

All candles, pure beeswax or toxic, need to be burned until the pool of wax reaches the outside edge! It’s an immutable law of physics. This is a requirement every (ish) time you light your candle.

There is no need with a beeswax candle to put it out once it reaches the outside edge, it should just continue to burn beautifully, without dripping, emitting a light honey aroma and a gorgeous warm ambience.

If you’re looking for candles for yoga, meditation, a relaxing bath, kids dinner, bedtime story or any activity that goes for less than a couple of hours, these are the candles for you.

Candle Tips & Tricks

Putting a candle into a glass vessel multiplies the light emitted by the candle many times over.

Curved glass (like a fishbowl) will achieve a better result than straight sided glass because the flame is reflected from many angles. Any glass is better than no glass!
Always allow your candle to burn to the outside edge. As some sage physicist said at some stage in the past “if you don’t allow your candle to burn out to the edge, it won’t burn out to the edge.”
When putting out a pillar candle, use the end of any poker type object (we use the bottom of a pen) to dunk the wick into the molten wax pool and then ensure you lift it out again and re-centre the wick. This stops the wick from smoking (and keeps the wick strong).

Before you relight a pillar candle, always trim the wick to 7mm or so (a little shorter than a centimeter)… if you dipped your wick to put the candle out, it will be coated with wax that has now gone cold so you should be able to trim the wick with your fingertips without getting soot on them!

A Note About Burning Bee Lights & Taper Candles

ANY taper will drip in a breeze – be it beeswax, paraffin or even the chemically hardened petrochemical ‘non-drip’ taper candles. Having said that a beeswax candle is the least likely to drip due to its high melting point.

If you want to make sure your Dinner Taper or Bee Light candles don’t drip, keep them out of any breeze or air movement. If the flame is dancing, then the air around the wick is moving and the candles will drip. Sometimes all you may need to do is move your candle 10cm to the left or right and that will fix the problem

If your table is in the centre of a breezy room, you may just need to think of candles like plants… some plants like full sun and some like shade. If you don’t want to waste your money, then observe this! Likewise, some candles cope with a breeze (Tealights, Round Votives, Solid Pillars) and others don’t (Yapers & Bee Lights), so choose the right candle/s for the right location.

Safety Tips

We recommend always burning a candle on a fire safe and heat proof surface. Ceramic, tile, mirror plate, glass, marble… should all be heat proof (unless they have a special finish on them in which case check first). Never burn a candle directly on to a timber surface.
Think about where your candle flame is going to be when you light the candle and ensure there is nothing that can come into contact with the flame (loose paper, curtains or anything else flammable).
Think about candle safety when you’re setting a dinner table… leave enough room between the candles to allow your guests to pass dishes and drinks without burning themselves or knocking the candles over.
Every child is different, so it is up to you whether it is appropriate to teach your child about fire or not and at what age. If you’re worried about fire safety around kids, think about putting the candles in a holder with a wide flat base (like a vase or fishbowl) and either keeping them out of reach, or, better still, educating the kids not to touch them while they’re burning.

We have had hundreds of customers over the years who have told us that they have taught their kids that when the candles are lit in the evening it is ‘quiet time’… dinner, bath & bed.

Benefits of burning beeswax candles

Every Queen B candle is made with 100% pure Australian beeswax plus a pure cotton wick. Nothing else. No fillers. No fragrances. No soy, palm or paraffin wax… just the purest beeswax in the world. There are many benefits of this approach:

our candles all burn with an golden aura-ed flame that is larger than their toxic cousins (because of the high melting point of the wax we can use a larger wick) throwing more light;
they burn significantly longer than any non-beeswax candles of a similar size;
they purify the air via ionisation and have significant health benefits especially for those of us suffering from respiratory problems like asthma;
using them is good for your health, good for Australian beekeepers, good for the regional communities they live in, good for farmers who rely on bees for pollination, good for national parks and state forests, good for the environment, good for artisan skills, good for Australian jobs and because of all of that, good for you!!
