I would agree with Adam and just use silicone. Aquarium grade is what you want as there are no fumes.

If you insist on using beeswax: In what other applications could it be used to create a airproof seal? You mentioned it being very hard at room temperature, does that hardness translate into brittleness? Being that it will be used on the lid, the repeated opening and closing might cause it to break apart. Just thinking out loud here.
