 206. Relative  to  selling  a commodity in imitation or semblance of
  honey.  No person or persons shall package, label, sell, keep for  sale,
  expose  or  offer  for  sale,  any  article  or  product in imitation or
  semblance of honey depicting thereon a picture  or  drawing  of  a  bee,
  beehive  or  honeycomb,  or  branded  as  "honey,"  "liquid or extracted
  honey," "strained honey" or "pure honey" which is  not  pure  honey.  No
  person  or  persons,  firm,  association,  company or corporation, shall
  manufacture, sell, expose or offer for sale,  any  compound  or  mixture
  branded  or  labeled  as  and  for honey which shall be made up of honey
  mixed with any other substance or ingredient. There may  be  printed  on
  the  package  containing such compound or mixture a statement giving the
  ingredients of which it is made; if honey is one of such ingredients  it
  shall  be  so stated in the same size type as are the other ingredients,
  but it shall not be packaged, sold, exposed for  sale,  or  offered  for
  sale  as honey; nor shall such compound or mixture be branded or labeled
  with the word "honey" in any form other than  as  herein  provided;  nor
  shall  any  product  in semblance of honey, whether a mixture or not, be
  sold, exposed or offered for sale as honey, or branded or  labeled  with
  the  word "honey," unless such article is pure honey. A product which is
  in semblance or imitation of liquid honey shall  be  labeled  as  "honey
  flavored   syrup"   or   "artificially  honey  flavored  syrup",  as  is
  appropriate.
