8 ounces of 100% pure Canadian beeswax makes for a reliable emergency candle, perfect for any survival or emergency kit in your house, vehicle or backcountry expedition. An even greater benefit to you is that beeswax burns longer and hotter than other waxes, providing more heat to warm up your food or water, or even your body. Plus, the glow produced by beeswax candles closely mimics that of the sun, providing natural light in any situation.
