Bees Wax Candles

I have a friend who is a beekeeper and he explained to me that natural bees wax is so much better for candle making. Comercial bees wax has chemicals added which are toxic and the natural beeswax burns longer and cleaner. Do any of you candle makers have any experience or feelings about this info?

Beeswax candles are wonderful. I recieved some as a gift once. If I was going to learn to make candles, I would learn to make beeswax candles and wouldn't have a need to make any others.

I'm not into making candles but this sounds like it makes perfect sense to me. Why not use something more 'natural' then something that is made up of chemicals?

There's something about natural beeswax that just feels right. Maybe it's the nostalgia, for those things were so much of the past. Maybe it's the health benefits. You can just feel whatever it is when you hold it in your hand.
