I will try to dig out some photos I have of my in-laws making maple syrup from their trees. Stephen Ewen 02:46, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

There's a nice shot here. All rights reserved, but I've asked for it to be released as CC (and will hopefully get a last name along with it!). --Joe Quick (Talk) 13:22, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

ditto for this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bi11jon/267339537/ --Joe Quick (Talk) 13:31, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

This one is now under a CC license. No name for the author, but I'll ask if we decide to use the photo.--Joe Quick (Talk) 21:24, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Can this be verified?

"Most likely the Native Americans discovered maple syrup through eating icicles that hung from broken branches of maple trees. The icicles would have collected some sap giving them a sweet taste." ?--Robert W King 09:27, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Sounds like fiction to me. They could have easily discovered it by chopping down a tree (or damaging) and tasting the sap. Why the need for icicles? Chris Day (talk) 09:36, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
