I've had 2 of my 4 taps not produce anything since last week. Does anyone know what happened and if I can expect them to come back online?

Thanks

which direction are the taps facing? Are they exposed to sunlight as long as possible?

They are south facing on the edge of the wood line. They all get the same amount of sun.

Did you drill into good wood? At least 2 inches, and are they healthy trees? These are the only things i can think of unless they just are not ready to run. I know here we have had no good runs yet. Im sure some of the more experienced
people on here may have an idea about why taps dont run.

How long have you been tapped and are they buckets with 7/16 spouts

I tapped on February 29th and they are buckets with 7/16 spouts. They were all running fine until last week when we got that cold snap. After that only two of them came back, the other two dropped out. All trees appear to be healthy.
