Candle Wax Types

I have been using petroleum based wax since 1997.  My results have been outstanding.  I have also tried soy wax, but really didn’t give it a good testing.  I did notice with soy wax that the concentration of dye needed is much greater than that needed for coloring petroleum wax.  I have also heard comments from candle makers that soy wax will not retain the scent if left uncovered for a length of time. I have not had any experience using beeswax.  I would be interested in hearing what other candle makers and consumers have to say about candles made from these types of waxes.
