UCO beeswax candles have a slight difference in the center of the wick. The position of the wick is critical to getting the maximum burn time from the candle. UCO candle lanterns have a slight incline. This can affect how candles burn and may explain why their candles perform better than any aftermarket replacements. The candles smell like Bit-O-Honey. Beeswax candles are slightly larger and are made here in the United States from Texas beeswax. Beekeeper. Their standard candles are made in Thailand. Judging by the photo, the difference in quality is obvious. Aside from the difference in size and the pre-drilled holes on the beeswax candles, the placement method for the wick is different. You can see that with beeswax candles there is a small gap between the wick and the wax. The beeswax candles are likely drilled, the wick threaded through them, and the base heated so that the metal tongue sticks to the base. That's why beeswax candles always stand straight and you don't have to deal with crooked candles. This is a clear case where quality is more important than quantity. In short, pay your money and get the best beeswax candles. UPDATE 3/17/2021: These amazing candles helped me survive two snow storms here in Texas. I also used them during the Louisiana hurricanes. I bought two more cases and found that my old candles are now paler than when I originally bought them. I've included a new image showing the old candle on the right. This plaque indicates that these candles are made from high quality beeswax. The scent is still there, but not as strong as with new candles. Those old candles still work great. With the storm expected this year, I recommend them now more than ever.
