Teach Soap

I recently received 4lbs of pure 100% beeswax that I purchased, and still waiting on my beehive molds to arrive.
I would like to know if anyone could advise me in the right direction in purchasing wicks and those metal tabs?
Which size and type wicks to use with what size candle, and with the tabs??....Also,
I may add that I'm only interested in making pure beeswax candles with nothing else added..
Im having trouble finding beehive skeps...Does anyone know where I could find those?..
Besides southern California, since it takes so long to ship to TN. I'm waiting on 2 of those to ship now, but need somewhere closer..
Thank you very much in advance..
Blessings to you!

Beeswax candles are totally fun to make and burn really cleanly. They always need a big wick - larger than you would expect.

I've written three blog posts on beeswax candles, and 1 on determining wick size. Here are those links:

Congrats on your new hobby =)) You will love your clean burning candles.
