Rusty.....Honey burns ARE legal in Maine, HOWEVER, I strongly advise you against using them. When you introduce anything new to a bait site, the bears get spooky. I have had a bunch of guys burn honey on my baits, and every time, without fail, the baits go dead as a doornail. When a bait is getting hit hard, don't do anything. Just sit and wait. Bears are extremely spooky critters that don't like any change at all. Alot of guys think that burning will only make the bait more enticing, but the opposite is true.
