Sap is flowing in Cape Breton already

The mild weather has sap flowing in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia for two weeks already.

Paul MacKenzie, of Highland Gold Maple Products, said he knew something was up in January and he starting tapping his trees two to three weeks earlier than normal.

MacKenzie said it usually takes 12 days to tap roughly 8,000 trees.

Last year the sap flow was delayed until late March because of the bitterly cold weather.
