It s tree-tapping time on the island - Mount Desert Islander

It’s tree-tapping time on the island BAR HARBOR    It was the kind of weekend that sugarmakers look forward to with freezing temperatures at night warming to above freezing during the day.   On Sunday, a slew of people from around Mount Desert Island and neighboring towns were out trudging through the woods with tools, buckets and taps to start collecting sap. Pine Heath Road resident Rob Krieg, with the help of his children Gabriel and Mae, was one of them.   Maine ranks third in the nation for top producers of maple syrup, with Vermont in first place and New York in second. In order to get the best tasting sap, there is a window of time in which tapping trees is recommended. Once the buds begin to swell from warmer temperatures, it will turn bitter, according to the Modern Farmer website.
