@ Montana Lady It’s weather related, when the temps get above freezing the tree roots start sending the sap up in to the tree trunks.Holes are bored in to the trees (not very deep), the sap runs up the inner bark, where the hole is the sap runs out of a spout and drips in to a bucket.The sap is collected and gets boiled down in to syrup.The sap is mostly water, it takes 40 to 50 gallons of sap to get 1 gallon of Maple Syrup..The local tribes were the first to get syrup from the trees, how they discovered this sweet treat is anybody’s guess..May the sweetness be with you..ttfn
