    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 2 Comments

    Despite a wonderful head cold, i spent a large part of the weekend with my friend Bill at his sugar house boiling maple sap. Making maple syrup is one of my favorite things to do in late winter, and in this video Bill shows us how to boil maple sap to make maple syrup

    { bill's farm is also where we have some of our beehives, you can see them in the Beginning Beekeeping Videos }

    How to tap maple trees for sap Priscilla shows us how to tap sugar maple trees

    One error I see people do is to tap maple trees that are not sugar maples, there is a difference. Consult a good tree identification book, like this one called Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast
    , which is handy when identifying trees in winter, it has lots of pictures of tree bark.

    Do you tap your trees? How do you boil your sap? I plan on doing it myself this winter, and am deciding between using tubing or buckets. What are your thoughts on buckets or tubing lines? Let us know below, thanks.

      Ooo, goody! Ever since reading Little House in the Big Woods (the chapter Sugar Snow) I have wondered how this is done!
