Yellowish Sap?

[AndrewsofBow]

Collected one of my buckets today. It was full from a tree that's been running well, but it wasn't clear it was yellowish. What's up with that? It's by far my best tree and don't want to not use the sap from it.

Andrew, you likely had moisture dripping down the bark of the tree and into your bucket.
