Hi again MSM. I'm sure snow fleas have always been a part of our winters, but it's funny that I never noticed them until I started to make syrup. They are kind of like the robins of sugarmaking. Once you see them, you know that the sap is quickly following.

One of my trees is dripping really well. The others are still fast asleep. I'm going to tap another ten today but suspect they are also frozen solid.
