3/4 pound (12oz) beeswax "cupcakes"

Description

We are suburban backyard beekeeper
Since we are small potato, we have only small quantities ( only about 15 pounds total).
About 6 to 8 cupcakes make up one pound.
Post office increased the shipping cost.
I just came back from the post office. They told me if I  just keep the weight to less than 13oz, I can use first class small package shipping, namely about .56, otherwise...
If you want more than one order, I will make a separate listing for you, so you don't have to pay twice the shipping cost.
==========================================
We use our beeswax in our woodworking projects and seal wooden handles of our kitchen utensils. Fellow woodworkers have purchased from us. Fellow beekeepers bought dark color ones to seal their top-bar hives.
There are blocks of different colors. I don't know why they are of two different colors. We do know that honey from one particular hive tastes different year-to-year. Also two different hives 20 ft apart produce wax of different color, and honey of different taste and color.
We do not use any chemical in our yard and in the hives , but the range of foraging for bees is about 5 miles. What I am saying is that the bees don't tell me where the bees got their honey and wax I harvest from their hives, so any claim of "organic" is false. I do not claim this wax is "organic", but I processed them with minimum maneuvering; and of course, nothing is added to whatever I harvest from the hive.
All I do is melt the wax and pour them into cupcake mold, through a tea leaves strainer. Nothing is added. At the bottom of each "wax cupcake" there is a little specks of residue from the honey comb. It is very slight, and would not interfere with your application.( by the way, we have a solar wax melter. When there is sun, we use it to make the "cupcake"--melt the beeswax in the yard, then bring in the house to pour it in the cupcake molds)
Each "cupcake" has slightly different weight. I have a electronic scale from US postal service and you may found half of a cupcake in your purchase (to make up one pound or two).
If you order, please let me know whether you can take the dark color ones for your application.  Woodworking and polishing, etc,  can use the dark color ones. If colorant is going to be in your application, the light color is preferred. Just let me know through eBay mail..
Customers told me their applications are:
