Bees make wax. They have four pairs of glands on the underside of their abdomens which secrete pinhead sized flakes of wax.

Crayon wax is primarily made from paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, along with other materials like microcrystalline wax and natural waxes such as beeswax. The paraffin wax provides a smooth texture and helps the crayons maintain their shape. Some eco-friendly crayons may use plant-based waxes like soy or palm wax instead. Overall, the wax used in crayons contributes to their color, texture, and durability.
