Maple syrup is made by collecting sap from trees?

True. Maple syrup is a natural sweetener made from the sap of certain maple trees, mainly the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and the black maple (Acer nigrum). The sap is collected during the late winter and early spring months when the trees are dormant. The collected sap is then boiled to evaporate the water content and concentrate the sugars, resulting in maple syrup.
