Maple syrup...
In the spring, when it's below freezing at night and above freezing during the day is when they collect syrup from the maple trees. Can they do this in the fall, as well?

sap usually starts running down out of trees in the fall and is gone by winter. It’s starts rising again in the spring. I’d imagine that’s why they do it when they do.
If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

No, once a year, and the time span varies every year. Lots of work but a great time with the right people.

Just agreed that sap is at its stongest flow in spring and every year varies according to temps. Last year was very short time in N.E. Pa

The boiling down takes forever, but can be lots of fun when spent with the right people.

I’d say it’s a lot like boiling down molasses

Say it is very similar. Maple is not as thck and we have to boil 35 to 49 galons of sap to to get a gallon. Twice a day to empty buckets or bags if you don't have lines. We get some cane from a Mich and I hae never seen it done. Seen a couple scars from folks tha used to cut it, not nice. It really is good though,
