At the current time we have over 2,000 healthy bee colonies. Our goal is to double our colonies in the next few years. Each colony has over 60,000 + bees.

We have the science fine-tuned to provide enriching environments for our bees to thrive. The bees are instrumental in the survival of the planet.

We ship our bees across the country to help farmers in need of pollination.


What’s all the buzz about beeswax candles?
During the Middles Ages beeswax was introduced as the “new” substance to manufacture candles. Prior to that, animal tallow was used, but it was smelly, dirty and toxic. Beeswax candles were a marked improvement over those made with tallow because they burned pure and clean. However, they were expensive and only the wealthy could afford them. They were also preferred for religious significance.

Beeswax is the only fuel known to both ancient and modern science to produce a negative ion when burning. Negative ions are very conducive to human balance at all
cellular levels. Burning Clark’s Wax Works candles removes dust, household odors, pollen, viruses, toxins – as well as mold and mildew – from the air.

Beeswax candles are still more expensive than paraffin candles because they are a natural resource. Paraffin candles are a petroleum by-product with color, fragrance, and chemicals added.

Beeswax Characteristics:
Bloom: A beeswax candle will develop bloom, a soft velvety covering over its surface, when allowed to sit for a period of time in a cool temperature. It’s not harmful and many people prefer this appearance. To remove it, set the candle in a warm place or wipe it gently using nylon with nylon hose.

Color: Some color variations are inevitable due to the length of time wax has remained in the hive, the pollen source, and the type of honey made in the hive. We make every effort to provide consistency in the color of our candles.

Beeswax Burning Tips:
Burn time: Because they are beeswax, our candles are naturally dripless and smokeless; therefore, burn time tends to be longer. A general rule-of-thumb burn time can be calculated as follows: For tapers, 1 hour per inch (12” taper burns for roughly 12 hours). For pillars, 3 hours per inch. For votives & tea lights, about 3-4 hours.

Wick: The wicking in our candles is made from natural plant fibers because this is the only type of wicking that withstands the long burning properties of beeswax. Each wick is stranded to various thicknesses to suit the different diameters of candles. It’s important to trim the wick back to ¼” each time before relighting the candle.

Hugging: When the candle has burned down somewhat and the wick obviously has gotten taller, an alternative to trimming the wick is called “hugging”. This involves pushing the sidewalls into the liquid pool to raise the level of the wax, which will also shorten the wick.

Extinguishing: Beeswax candles should always be extinguished by using a snuffer or by being dunked. Dunking is a method of dipping the wick into its own pool of liquid wax using a small stick. The reason for this is because blowing out the candle will cause the wick to smolder thereby emitting wick fibers into the air.

Pure Colorado Honey at Fine Health Food Stores
Clark’s Honey Farm produces some of the purest honey found in the western U.S. and because he’s a beekeeper, he knows the origin and quality of his honey – he works with the bees everyday to make sure they’re healthy, active and content.
