The yellow powder is from the candle itself. It is the condensate of the beeswax that falls down inside the candle during the burning process. Because beeswax is a liquid (in solid form) it boils adjacent to the flame. This forms a vapor which then cools and solidifies (as a yellow powder) away from the flame.
