Candles are made up of chemical compounds pressed together in the form or a candle. They are made of two totally different types of wax which is Paraffin wax and Beeswax. The Paraffin candles are 95% of the world’s population of candle production. But when it comes to the beeswax the beekeepers can only used one or two pounds of the wax for every hundred pounds of honey they are able to harvest. They are also thought being able to clean the air because when the beeswax candle is burned it releases negative ions into the air which makes the pollen dust and other thing get sucked into the candle or fall onto the ground. While it does that there are also cases where it helped with asthma also allergies. ( Lauren Geertsen, September 8, 2012)
