Steve Sagehorn is a former Navy helicopter pilot, a proud dad to a teenage son and Spartan racer who embraces every challenge with grit and determination. His love for fitness and competition fuels everything he does.
After his time in the service, he picked up the old-world craft of making mead—wine brewed from honey—that opened the door to a steady supply of local beeswax.
What started as a way to slow down turned into something more. Steve found real satisfaction in working with his hands, melting and pouring wax the old-fashioned way. Boise Beeswax Company grew out of that—born from a love of honest materials and simple, useful products.
Today, he crafts pure beeswax candles and offers triple-purified wax to fellow artisans who care about quality. No frills, no fuss—just solid work, done right.
Beeswax is a renewable byproduct of honey production. It’s biodegradable, non-toxic, and burns cleaner than paraffin—no smoke, no chemicals, just natural light. By using local, triple-purified beeswax, we support healthy hives and cut down on waste. Good for your home, better for the planet.
