How It Is Made - Black Bear

Made with a lot of work! Here is a brief outline.

Putting up literally miles of tubing and drilling the trees. (tapping) About 4500.
Cleaning before the sap enters the tanks, RO and evaporator.
Gathering the water and pumping into the holding tanks.
Reverse osmosis to lower the water content and raise the sugar content – reduces boiling time.
Boiling the sap to syrup stage. Filtering the sap to remove any impurities and enhance clarity.
Pumping into barrels for later jugging into smaller containers. (more work!)
Cleaning utensils, tanks, RO and evaporator after every batch of syrup has been made.
And if you want syrup products like cream, candy, and sugar it takes even more work to get the syrup to these various stages!
Like the farmer… you have to love what you do.
