About Humming Bear

Hello! I'm Kara, the owner of Humming Bear LLC.
Humming Bear strives to bring the joy of creativity and the love of candles together through the aesthetics and scents of our hand poured soy candles. A lot of research, testing, and attention to detail goes into every product we create, so that you get a beautiful candle.

I started out making candles as a hobby, but launched as a business in July of 2023 with our first vendor event. Our Etsy shop soon followed in early August. We've now added our own website through Shopify in 2025!

Our name has a special meaning. It comes partly from my childhood nickname, Bear. But it also has a special connection to my grandparents, who were big supporters of my creative endeavors. My grandma always loved to watch hummingbirds and my grandpa looked tough but was a giant teddy bear. They have both passed away at this point, but I wanted to keep them close to this creative endeavor that I know they would love and support.
