This photo shows the trunk of a pine tree being tapped to collect its sap. A section of the bark has been peeled vertically, exposing a layer of wood that secretes natural resin or sap. A small piece of zinc is attached below the peeled section to direct the flow of sap to a collection container below. The process is carried out in the middle of a pine forest, against a backdrop of lush trees and a natural setting. The collected pine sap will later be processed into raw materials for various products, such as turpentine, rosin and adhesives. This tapping technique is done carefully to ensure that the trees are preserved.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
