Historic Bee Skep Candle metal work 15-20 hours burn timepure beeswax 4. 6cm wide by 6. 4cm tall (1. 8" x 2. 5") approximate burn time 8 12 hours This candle is a lovely nod to historical times when bee skeps were given to Dutch newlyweds, who paraded the skep through town in celebration.

Skeps were made from grasses wound and tied into a domed shape.
