I had that with a candle I bought for my girlfriend. You didn't even have to light it, you could just open the lid and smell it since it was so strong.
Also, I remember reading a guide on how to burn a candle years ago. It sounds like a silly concept but it was advice on how to stop the wick tunneling into the wax so it was actually quite useful
These are just 100% beeswax, no added scents. Ideal burn time is a thing, you'll waste them lighting for too short a period.
Running the figures. 1kg of wax needs 8kg of honey, so 130kgs of honey for 16kgs. Say you put 10g of honey on toast that's 13,000 slices of toast w/ honey (!).
Or enough mead for a damn good day in Valhalla
