Spile color and sap quantity

[minehart gap]

Thanks Dr. Tim and Dave. My phone did auto correct when I was typing the title and I didn't catch it.

Dr. Tim, you mention to tell you the weather that we will have and you can tell me what tap to use. And that a cold sugar bush may benefit from a black spile. Would it be possible that I am seeing better quality with clear taps because of the early morning sun that my sugar bush receives?
