§ 7.

Honey. (a) For the purpose of this Section, "honey house" means any stationary or portable building or any room or place within a building that is used for the purpose of extracting, processing, or other handling of honey. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Department may not regulate honey that is in the comb or that is removed from the comb and in an unadulterated condition; both forms of honey are exempt from the provisions of this Act. (c) If a producer is engaged in the sale of honey that is left in the comb or removed from the comb in an unadulterated condition at a local market and packs or sells less than 500 gallons of honey produced in this State per year, then the Department may not regulate or inspect the producer's honey house.
