Hi, my name is Angelika! I married into a beekeeping family. My husband Mike has been keeping bees his whole life. It's all he's ever known. So when I joined the family in 1995, naturally I tried my hand at the bee work. It was fun for a while, but after my two kids came along, I started selling honey at local farmer's markets and craft fairs, to be able to stay home more.

I'd always made a few candles, but in 2006, I decided to really have a go at increasing the number and selection of candle types I offer. I had no idea how many there eventually would be!

Now I sell thousands of pure beeswax candles every year, every one of which I pour myself. And I have one of the largest selections on the Web, too.

It is still so much fun! Even though I know what the candle will look like when it pops out of the mold, it's still so enjoyable to see that candle for the first time.
