(3)  "Color". The color for honey of the grades Wisconsin Fancy and Wisconsin No. 1 shall be determined by the Pfund color-scale instrument as follows:

Pfund scale readings   (in millimeters)

(6)  "Department" means the state of Wisconsin department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection.

(7)  "Evenly capped" means that combs shall be free from pronounced irregularities in the surface.

(8)  "Extracted honey" is honey which has been separated from the crushed or uncrushed comb by centrifugal force, gravity, straining, or other means. Extracted honey of the "crystallized type" shall be uniformly granulated, smooth and fine in texture, and when liquefied at 130 ° Fahrenheit shall meet all other requirements of the grade represented.

When honey comes from the nectars of plants it can be called blossom honey or nectar honey. When honey comes mainly from excretions of plant-sucking insects on the living parts of plants or secretions of living parts of plants, it can be called honeydew honey.
