This season ranks as...

[bees1st]

I'm going to be right where I was last year , gallon wise. Only I added 150 taps .Ended up being about a qt. of syrup / tap, over 1/2 of my taps are on vacuum . Looks like the end after Sunday for me.

It's actually turned out to be better than last year, but I would not have thought that a couple of weeks ago.

It was my best year i have had in 3 years.I ended up with 85 gals of syrup this year. So i am happy.

My best year to with 40.25 gallons I typically make 30 or so but I installed a sap puller and it saved the day for me.

You're all making me feel pretty bad.
It was frozen solid here in southern Aroostook County later than usual in March. We had a couple of decent weeks, and now it;s not freezing over night and the sap has pretty much stopped running. We still have a good 2 feet of snow in the woods, too.

We are still going. Although it did not freeze last night after a 70 degree day sap was still running this with vacuum. Last night sap was still 1.5% and clear. Last night was our 15th boil for the season. Not bad considering the late start. This will end up our best year ever for syrup.

We skipped a season here is central Aroostook, from winter to summer. Just started to get some decent sap runs and now we've have our 3rd day in the 60s. The weather looks like it could hold out for us to keep going for a week or two though as long as the buds hold. We've made 210 gallons, half of which since Friday. 390 to go, praying we get it.

At the moment we have bottled 114 gallons, and with what we have in the evaporator we should come close to the 135 gallon number which will equal one pint per tap. For today's date we have produced exactly the same amount of syrup as 2014 on this date.

Our syrup has run in a narrow band between exactly Amber and halfway from Amber to Dark, and then back again. We haven't made anything that i would call a "robust" dark yet.

The season started almost identical to 2014. First draw off on April 2nd, and ran fairly steadily to the 12th. Last year though we also produced syrup on the 19th, 21st, 24th, and 26th. The weather doesn't look like that will happen this year though.

We are budded out here in China! Pans washed and stored. We made less than a pint per tap this year! All our syrup was a really nice dark Amber and all our sap was over 1.7 sugar. When it ran it was pouring but just to short a season. Oh well next year will be better! Adding 60 taps on 3/16 on the new 50 acres we just picked up.

Yup...we got 40 gal sap out of woods today, but snow is gone! Last boil for the season on the new stove Id say! Only 4 gallons of syrup this year on 75 gravity taps! Not good, but still a bit of sweetness from God above!
