Fun fact I learned from the beekeepers: the color of the wax is mostly due to the location it's in in the hive. There is white (usually from the cappings at the top of the hive as far as I understand it), yellow, and different shades of brown-ish that come more from the middle & bottom of the hive, respectively. The scent of the beeswax comes from the amount of honey in it!
During the last candle-making workshop, different keepers brought in wax from their hives, and the way that the keepers clean the wax and where they harvested it from made a huge difference in the smell and coloring of the wax itself.
I might be becoming a bee nerd, even though I don't have my own hive yet.
