The first syrups made are the lightest, when the frosts are hard and temperatures rise just above freezing. As the season progresses and the temperatures rise, the syrup becomes darker. Mother Nature controls the quality of the sap. Once it becomes too warm or the trees start to pop buds, the syrup takes on a bitter taste and the season is over.
