bees and pandas can be a very good base theme to expand off of.
for example on a webpage you could have the about me/contact us page refer to you (and possibly anyone else involved) as the worker bees.
if you have some blog like posts about your work it could be a section called bamboo for thought
so in a way it can be good for your name to be more on the vague/general side, because it allows you to utilize the subject in marketing. You might also want it to sound specific to you as well so it doesn't get lost in a sea of searches, if you can combine your name with the bee or panda concept without it running too long of a name, it could be beneficial!
maybe you can make bees-ness cards, and then a none of your beeswax section for non-candle products.
you could even combine the two to make a more unique name like PandaBee then you can create a symbiotic relationship between the two concepts.
you could divide up the characters between different types of art, so maybe the bee is the mascot for the candles and for the others it can be the panda, (maybe holding a paintbrush next to spilled paint can cover paint pours and watercolor).
