A method of collecting secretions from trees including making a predetermined shaped incision through the bark to the surface of the wood and applying a secretion flow activation agent to the incision. The method further includes placing a receptacle in the incision, wherein the receptacle comprises a lower outer part and a flow tube portion located at the lower outer part, and wherein a portion of the receptacle has the same shape as the predetermined shape of the incision. The method further includes fixing a collecting apparatus to the flow tube and subsequently removing the collecting apparatus from the flow tube when the collecting apparatus contains secretions from the trees. The method still further includes closing the collecting apparatus, storing it in a container, closing the container, transporting the container to a product recovery site, cleaning the closed collecting apparatuses at the product recovery site, opening the clean collecting apparatuses, and recovering the secretions from the clean collecting apparatuses.
