Sri Lankan beeswax + natural candle makers: (1) Sarah's Artisan Candles (Colombo - beeswax + soy blends, USD 15-40 per candle). (2) Spa Ceylon (retail brand - beautiful glass jar candles, USD 20-60). (3) Some organic farms make beeswax candles. (4) Village bee farmers direct from apiary + wax processing. Common ingredients: local beeswax, Ceylon coconut oil, essential oils (Ceylon cinnamon, lemongrass, sandalwood). Clean-burning, non-toxic, longer burn than paraffin. Gift-boxed versions ideal for souvenirs. USD 25-60 gift sets.
Ordering 6 Sarah's Artisan candles online for gifts + visiting a Kandalama beekeeper next week for the full production tour. Supporting sustainable + local artisan craft.
Also: Sri Lankan beekeeping tradition strong (Kandalama + Kandy areas). Some beekeeping tours combine wax + honey production + candle making demos. USD 30-70 half day. Educational + product purchase.
