MSDS here showing 'There is limited evidence that this chemical may act as a carcinogen in laboratory animals.' http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/BE/benzaldehyde.html and is certainly hazardous to handle: http://www.ilo.org/public/english/protection/safework/cis/products/icsc/dtasht/_icsc01/icsc0102.htm As far as I can see, it is no longer available from beekeeping equipment suppliers in the EU. Perhaps someone has more info?
