Default Weeping Maple tree?

I donīt know why nature has given this gift to the maples, but I guess
the syrup attracts insects for fertilizing the colorless blossoms.

There is another potential cause for this sort of problem. Wasps are known
to chew away bark to cause sap to flow to attract insects that they can eat
instead, usually ants. Do you have ant trails going up the tree and wasps
flying around?
