    Which candles burn longer, beeswax or tallow?

    Question #26717. Asked by Powercut. (Jan 20 03 5:39 PM)

    		Beeswax candles burn brighter, last longer and smell better than those made from tallow. Beeswax however was not as easy to obtain than tallow which was mainly made from animal fats. See the links below for info
