Nice addition to your bee videos. What a setup. Awesome. Taylor's maple syrup is awesome. A make an awesome beer with his syrup. Wins competition all the time. Beer brewing is my other hobby. Bees and beer. I don't mix the two together. The girls do love the brew smell. They visit every time.
Great video to see how maple syrup is done commerically. I've been doing at home for about 35 years. I make about 6 gallons of syrup from a dozen taps every 4 years or so. That's enough for family to last until the next time around. Boiled in steamer pans on a gas stove!
One things for sure there's nothing better than real maple syrup. And it looks like he has quite the operation set up there for sure. Thanks for sharing brother.
Very interesting, Jason. Would you please thank Tyler for allowing us to see his operation and thank you for sharing this video. It's great to see folks develop their passion and provide it to others. Way things were accomplished back scores and scores ago, when the States were in their infancy.
Great video JC! I love maple syrup! My dad was raised on a syrup farm in upstate NY and it’s what I was raised onN no Aunt Jemima in our family! Thanks for sharing! 💕💖💞
Thanks for the tour, that was sweet. I made some off of walnut trees here a few years back. I made about a pint, it was a process for sure and slow to collect enough sap for that much. Plus one foggy morning while I was down on the creek pulling sap, something screamed at me from a couple hundred yards downstream about four times and that broke my appetite for fresh syrup. I ain't saying it was bigfoot or nuthin....but it was bigfoot. Seriously.
Thanks Jason and Tyler. I always enjoy seeing someone else's sugar shack. I don't have a sugar shack just yet. I still boil on cinder blocks outside and I only have about 16 taps. Not sure if I am getting any this year or not. I've got so much stuff to do and I"m not sure if the maples here will bloom first or not. We'll see.
Hey Jason Very interesting I like maple syrup but like fresh honey better....We have neighbors who have smaller sugar shacks in the woods near a large trout stream that flows by my place...and they are producing it now....I prefer honey flow season and working with the bees!!!
Wow Jason that is a BEAUTIFUL OPERATION!!! Very interesting and definitely gonna order a quart from Miller's! We are blessed to be overrun by many different varieties of Maple's here in Southern Appalachia. Speaking of which our Red Maple's are fixin to bust open! Hope to see ya tap a few Maple's brother! 🐝
Actually I am skipping tapping trees this year. Too much going on. Trying to prepare for both bee & calving season. Maples are really close to busting here too!
Sugar shake? oops! It is early Morning Jason....lol...good morning. I used to make maple syrup as a kid...tapped the trees with coffee buckets....cut wood and boiled it outside...no help from adults....it was a lot of work but fun.
@@JCsBees Thumbnail yes...opening screen, not so much....but yeah...without republishing the video, youtube won't let you make edits like that which is a bummer...been there, done that. Neat tour...big operation. Take care.
Wow! Nice tour, never knew how that's made commercially. I just ordered some of it. Do you bring hive over to Tyler's property when the maples are blooming?
If you've never tried real maple syrup your in for a treat. Keep me posted would love to hear your thoughts after you try it. I haven't ever taken hives to Tyler's shack, I guess because he is a beekeeper and I figure he has hives there.
Jason, I'm one of your patreon and wonder what you think about using the mix of honey and " sugar water honey" mixed with pollen substrate to feed the bee's now in spring before the flowers are blooming?5ⁿ
I appreciate your support as a Patreon and to answer your question, I've never tried that mixture but it sounds worth trying. I would keep an eye on it though and observe how the bees are reacting. I would however wait until overnight lows come up to at least 45°F as I would worry it would create condensation in the hive.
Most of his tapped trees were sugar maples but he said he had a few red maples tapped too. Not sure on the amount of wood but he said the evaporator liked to eat a bunch.
2 of my buddies run the same kinda stuff for syrup people use to run shine in the off season with the less sophisticated syrup machines lol I bet some still do haha

I got mad. I am 55. I always just bought table syrup since I was a kid. I got a Walmart gift card. That's to splurge! I got a small glass bottle of real maple syrup. I couldn't wait. I made french toast. It was so sickening, and I mean sickening sweet I couldn't stand it. Was I mad. I need to buy a bottle of this brand. Oh, for example. I had a relative just taste a touch of my mrs butterworth. Ok, syrup big deal. Then I had them taste a touch of my REAL maple syrup . They didn't like it either so it wasn't just me.

Pretty cool tour. Nice video.
That was an awesome documentary. I never realized how much work it took to make real maple syrup.
That was cool. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍🐝🐝
Thanks for the tour, love that pure maple syrup😁👍
Is Tyler Miller a member of the Ohio Maple Producers Association? If not he should be, great work Tyler keeping our traditions alive.
Not sure, I'd have to ask him.
Thank you for sharing your videos! Always learning 💓
Awesome. Thank you for sharing.
That was so interesting. I had no idea what went into making that syrup. Many thanks to you and Tyler for taking the time to do the video.

Jason, thank you & Tyler for tour! I’ll definitely appreciate my pancakes a lot more.
That was awesome Jason something different real maple syrup is all we have in my house cant beat it see you next week.

Thank you JC. I had no idea they used plumbing and pumps. Friends never let friends poor corn syrup on Pancakes, French Toast, nor Waffles.
great video of making syrup
Decent size operation.
Really cool tour! Thank you!
Great video Jason, I will see you in the Fall to pick up those jugs of Tyler's syrup from you!

Wow nice
I thought they were still using pails to collect the sap. This is awesome. Thanks for the tour.
Buckets are a thing of the past for a lot of sugar shacks. Tubing makes things so much easier.
Pretty Sweet video!!!
Nice video. High dollar set up.
Awesomeness !

I was questioning the hourly productivity rate then we went to the RO room and it all made sense I will get about 4 gallons of syrup this year

Damn! I knew when I started editing this video with the length of it I'd make a mistake. lol Fixing it now. Thanks for pointing it out!
Thumbnail has been corrected! lol

Yes, the opening screen is still misspelled and it is a bummer YT has made it so a creator can edit that but it is what it is at this point. lol
He ain't playing ... can see the passion in his eyes ... Probably could plant that hill with ginseng do test see how it grows first ..

Very nice setup, do you have sugar maples at all or just red maples? Any idea how many cords he goes through? Thanks for your videos!

Guaranteed this guy worked in a mill or refinery

Kind of cool
No to corn syrup. Small batch Maple is where it’s at. I put it on everything except my coffee. For that I look for local honey!!!!
It's good stuff for sure!
You can not get an accurate reading with the hydrometer with the syrup hot. I will be way off. He should know that
