We will not accept a return if a candle comes in a different shade of yellow or if you do not consider that a candle, soap or other product does not smell how you expected or it came in darker/lighter shade than in the photos.  
Since we buy beeswax from a variety of different local beekeepers, there may be some variation in the colour of the beeswax. Beeswax colour varies depending on the type of pollen that the bees are foraging, the season, etc. Colours will range from gold/yellow to even darker shades of orange or beige. Beeswax is naturally aromatic from the honey and floral nectar that’s found in the honeycomb. — some beeswax smelling stronger than others - this is, again, contingent on what the bees are pollenating. we let nature decide the smell.  We hand-pour all of the candles ourselves! Since they are handmade, expect there to be some variation from candles shown in the pictures. Locally sourced, these delicious natural honey-scented candles are unique and make a beautiful addition to your home.

Beeswax Shrinks! The sizes provided in the listings are the mold sizes. The actual candle might vary as some candles shrink when they cool down, depending on the beeswax and the room temperature when poured. 

Burning times are not guaranteed We will give you the most accurate average burning times after several burn tests made on every batch of wax. We do not guarantee the burning times will be the same as it will depend on the burning conditions, wick trimming, room temperature and more.
