No reason to suspect that it would contain pesticides/herbicides.

The commercial beekeepers in Australia are mainly migratory so most wax is
from migratory beekeepers. Some may do pollination work but wax is usually
not produced on contract pollination as the hive numbers are large for
pollination purposes and a surplus of honey, and consequently beeswax, is
not produced.
