Sorry Winston, No experience with beeswax, although like you I suspect the typical slow drop times and rise times will not have any negative impact on the wax.
The website does state that the coil is hard as a rock and that some kind of polymerized paraffin is used. In addition it states that paper is used as insulation, making for penetration by the wax. My guess based on what I have read is that the coils are wound fairly tight and that the paraffin is there to insure there is no "flexing" of the coils from the fields generated. Inductance should be very constant that way.
Since the coils in the photo look quite solid to begin with and the amount of paraffin is barely visible , I doubt if there will be many issues, just make sure the temperature drop is controlled. The fact that the coil is 100% "encapsulated" means that it will take some time for the temperature to penetrate the coil's center.
Perhaps if the cryo facilities are reasonably close you could place in a frig and then in dry ice for a few day to insure the core is lowered in temperature.
