Last week, students in the So. Aroostook After-School Program took a trip to Spring Break in Smyrna to learn about Maple Syrup & Honey Production Students learned how sap is collected in a large-scale operation, what kinds of products are made of the sap, about the ratio of water to sap in making syrup, and how to recycle the water that is evaporated from the sap. They also learned about products that may suggest it contains real maple syrup and what kinds of products that actually do contain maple syrup. They were given some samples of maple cream, maple cotton candy, and maple sugar candy to try.
Students also learned about the process of making honey. The location we went to visit is a maple syrup and honey facility. They have 6 containers of bees off site and sometimes the colony gets big enough to split into 12 containers. The students learned about the different types of bees, the importance of bees, how to keep bees safe, how the bees turn pollen into honey, what the combs look like, the life cycle of a bee and what the queen bees job is.
Thank you to Kevin & Kristi Brannen and Spring Break Maple Farms for providing this educational tour of your business to our students!! Picture credit to Shelby Cummings.
