Q. I love your candles.  The scents are fabulous.  How do I trim the wick?

A. Thank you.  We are so glad you love Busy Bee Candles.  Trimming the wick is easy.  Using a pair of scissors, reach down into the jar and snip off the end of the wick.  Always leave about 3-6mm of the wick exposed from the wax and remove the waste bit of wick.  Relight the candle and enjoy.  Repeat this as often as is necessary.  It will prolong the life of the candle by using less wax.
