How do you tap a maple tree?

Answer 1

A hole is drilled into the tree in early spring and is fitted with tubing and/or buckets to collect the sap as it rises in the tree. The sap is boiled down into syrup. Forty gallons of sap are needed to make one gallon of syrup. See Related Links.

Actually with the new technology we have in 2009 and 2010 there is a new

way of receiving maple syrup from maple trees. There is a hole drilled in the

tree or tree's and then tubes are attached to the tree and some other trees.

the tubes are attached to the sugar shack where the syrup is then boiled and made into maple syrup. Yes some people still do do it that way but this way is much easier for older people and saves alot of time. Because you don't have to go and collect the buckets full of syrup, because it would already be in the shack.
