sap bucket
Tree fluid catcher
A sap bucket is a container hung from a maple tree to collect sap for making syrup.
The bucket catches sap that drips from a tap driven into the trunk.
Traditional sap buckets are metal pails with lids to keep out rain and debris: In late winter, the sugar maples were studded with sap buckets.
