No - I am thinking benzaldehyde. I have used it to clear supers years ago,
but found that it tainted honey - you can taste it, and then I read that it
was carcinogenic.
MSDS here showing 'There is limited evidence that this chemical may act as a
carcinogen in laboratory animals.'

and is certainly hazardous to handle:

As far as I can see, it is no longer available from beekeeping equipment
suppliers in the EU.
Perhaps someone has more info?
