Sap Dripping- Sap dripping into a bucket at the Macphee's Apple Orchard and Maple Syrup producers.

This is a picture of the end of the line of the evaporator. This is the syrup that was sap, and is being drained into a bucket awaiting the next step. The syrup looks very dark because some of it is the good syrup and some of it is the sappy syrup that still has to be boiled again. They use a sort of cloth filter to strain the syrup into a bucket. The clothes pins hold the filter in place.
