Business
After listening to countless entrepreneurial stories, I truly believe that for some entrepreneurs, their business journey is meant to be and a higher power helps pave their path. And, this is one of those stories that doesn’t feel like coincidences played a part – it’s as if this was always meant to happen for Christine Flores, owner of The Beeswax Co. based in Dripping Springs, Texas. She always knew she wanted to own a business, but couldn’t quite figure out what exactly she wanted to do until one day she heard about a beeswax candle company. She was instantly intrigued in the beeswax industry and loved that her own family lineage tied into beeswax as her great grandfather was a beekeeper and Christine had fond memories of him working with bees. So, when Christine was 7 months pregnant, her stars aligned and she became the proud owner of The Beeswax Co. She immersed herself into learning all about the candle and beeswax industry and talks through what sets her business and products apart. She even uses her grand-daddy’s beekeeping tools to burnish each candle that is made by hand. Christine like to think of her work as a beautiful collaboration between people and bees.
