What price do those of you that make beeswax candles sell them for?

An once of beeswax will sell for a £ plus your trouble and a bit more

Always burn one fully before selling to check wick works well. I sold loads in my early years of beekeeping but the wicks were too small and they flooded. Had a few complaints understandably. I find them more trouble than they are worth! Good luck though

Always use a wick one size larger than the mould supplier recommends - I sell my bog standard dinner candles for a couple of quid each.

Yep.....Always try it...it does vary with the wax though.
I have made tea lights with a 26 Wickwell wick for years. This year I had to use 34.
Tea lights are 50p in a polycarbonate cup
Skep with Bee candles are £2.50 as are candles in a two oz hex jar...they are popular.
I used to do rolled candles, getting the wax from Thorne sales but the colours have become a bit naff and I'm not paying proper dollar. These went for £1.50
