Pieces together to form a dual mold for a beehive shaped candle modeled to look somewhat like <a href='https://glorybee.com/beehive-votive-polyurethane-mold?m=Abstract&gclid=CjwKEAjw3pTJBRChgZ3e7s_YhAkSJAASG9VrR7gy61Fbs30sHyI8pDk6D-AbN8-r7Nfe0ECMtANvRRoC6zvw_wcB'>this</a>. Without scaling, the diameter of the base of the hive is about 1.5." There is a small hole at the bottom of the mold for threading a wick through the candle before cooling. The extra space opposite the hole can be filled with putty to avoid any wax leakage, and is connected to small tunnels to house any excess wicking material. To keep the wick straight, a simple fixture like <a href='https://www.google.com/search?q=candle+mold+wick&safe=active&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiZ2dP9xYnUAhXhw1QKHYx0C2MQ_AUIBygC&biw=1279&bih=780#imgrc=mb4zjmzHh51AaM'>this</a> or a <a href='https://www.amazon.com/20mm-Standard-Wick-Tabs-150/dp/B001PF5IRE'>metal wick tab</a> can be used.
