🕯️ it is said that lighting a beeswax candle will attract spirits from beyond the grave. So keep them lit if you’re eager to see a ghost on All Hallows’ Eve! Honey bees are considered to represent the soul, death and the release of spirits into the next life – if they were close by when a person died.

Another fun fact, they used beeswax during mummification over eyes, ears, lips and incisions.

Happy Halloween from Heritage Apiary,, & the bees! Be safe out there friends!
