For example, the Bee Spoons S/4 and the Measuring Spoon Bee S/4 are made with meticulous artisan craftsmanship, ensuring each piece is unique. These variations in colour, finish, and detail are not considered faults but part of the beauty and charm of handmade items. This means that no two products will be exactly the same, adding a special, one-of-a-kind touch to each item.

The bee-themed signs are mainly crafted from MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard), which is known for its sturdiness and durability. Some also incorporate other elements like metal and jute for added texture and visual interest. For example, the Sign Hive Rules combines MDF with iron accents.

Bee-themed glassware, such as the Wine Glass Bee Clear and the Tumbler Bee Soft Green, are made from high-quality glass. These items typically need to be hand-washed to ensure they maintain their intricate designs and structural integrity. Variations in colour and slight imperfections are intrinsic characteristics of these handcrafted pieces, standing as a testament to their artisanal quality. It’s advised to handle them with care and avoid using abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface details.

While the primary design and craftsmanship of bee-themed wall decorations may tempt placement outdoors, most are intended for indoor use to preserve their longevity and finish. For instance, items like the Windchime Bee Antique are often designed for indoor settings or well-sheltered outdoor areas where they are protected from the elements. Materials such as metal and MDF might degrade more quickly if exposed to severe weather conditions. Therefore, it's best to place them in areas where they can be admired without being subjected to harsh environmental factors.

The bee-themed kitchen accessories usually come with packaging, but it's important to note that the packaging is not considered part of the product. For example, the Salad Server Bee S/2 and the Teaspoon Bee S/3 are packaged to ensure they reach you in good condition. However, any damage to the packaging itself is not claimable. The focus is primarily on the quality and craftsmanship of the product inside, giving importance to what's truly valuable – the items themselves.
