Maple Sap for Maple Syrup

From Sugar Maples
 

It's starting to warm up, and when it warms up the sap begins to flow in sugar maple. Sugar maple trees have holes drilled into them, and taps are put in the holes. Buckets are hung from the tree, and the taps release the sap into the buckets. The buckets are collected, and then the sap is boiled down to make maple syrup. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup.
