I have been collecting maple sap for the past couple of weeks. Today I pulled the last tap out because I saw the tips at the top of the tree had the reddish hue of buds. I've heard that once the buds come out on the tree the sap does not taste good. I don't know if that is true but I'm not going to risk it. I have 6 and a half gallons of sap in the fridge to boil and that is enough for me.
