When the bee goo tincturing first got started, it was looked upon as a way to cheaply get the animalic fixative properties of beeswax absolute. I've since abandoned it as a novelty that is fun, but I find I truly love the deeper, richer beeswax absolute. I never had my bee goo tincture tested for microbial action as I have my goat hair tincture tested, but the account of dead mice, etc., in the goo really gives pause. Yuck, in fact. Not to say that the folks out there are tincturing dead mice, LOL, but explained to me how 95proof ethanol allows organisms to grow, whereas 70% doesn't. Don't understand that, but I listen to the experts. I think if anyone wishes to persist in using it, get it tested.
