Containers for honey should be new and clean. Drums for bulk honey can be reused and should be recoated as needed, but new gaskets are necessary each time the drums are filled. Five-gallon cans should not be reused. Both comb and extracted honey are sold and purchased by grades established by the United States Department of Agriculture. The standards for grading are not required, but they allow producers and packers to buy and sell a quality product based upon grades established jointly by the honey industry and the Department of Agriculture. The quality of extracted honey is measured by its flavor, its freedom from particles or sediment, its clarity, and its moisture content. Comb honey 11 is graded for many characteristics including the number of uncapped cells, attachment to the section or frame, uniform honey and cappings, and freedom from damage. Copies of Standards for Grades of Comb Honey and Extracted Honey are available from the Processed Prod- ucts Standardization and Inspection Branch, Fruit and Vegetable Divi- sion, Consumer and Marketing Service, Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, 20250. Color is not a factor of quality in the grading system but it is im- portant in the sale and purchase of honey, especially in large lots.
