If you can find it and of course depending on the size of your candle, a metal jacket around the wick, something that would look like a large thimble only with a hole big enough for the wick. The thimble looking apparatus would keep the wax from flowing down the candle, thus burning longer. Seen it many times on church candles.

Put them in the freezer before burning, and when you are done burning it stick it back in the freezer until you are ready to burn again. Bee's wax candles will usually last longer.

Restrict the air supply to the wick.
