what's cruel about bees wax and paraffin?

"vegan" means that there is nothing, not a single thing, coming from animals. And bees wax is an animal product, maybe not so very cruel like milk for example, but some bees die when it is taken. Moreover it's good to do things without using animals, they're not machines or products. And paraffin can be ok, I often use it and it's 100% cruelty free, but sometimes there's animal fat I think, or something like it. But you can always ask and find out whether this particular you want to buy is ok or not.
