If heat is transferred by waves, we call it radiation. If it is transferred by particles in contact it is conduction, and if the particles move to carry the heat it is convection.
Conduction.
By the sun
If two objects of different temperature are brought into contact, internal energy is transferred via heat. If two objects collide, kinetic energy is transferred between them.
Heat is transferred to your hand by conduction. The particles of the wax are moving faster than the particles in your skin and energy is transferred by collisions between the two sets of particles.

The energy is transferred by photons, which are elementary particles.
