I sell them a lot of honey and they pay their bills. I've never bought bees from them, but they have been around forever. So they have to be doing something right!:applause:

Hi -- I didn't get bees, but I got my honey jar labels from them. Communication went well either thru Phone or Email and the labels came out exceptional.
I have not bought bees from them, but if I was in the market for bees, I would try them due to my positive experience with the labels.

Thanks for the replies from everyone
I bought 3 packages of Itailians with clipped and marked queens from them, because everyone that i have talked to has had nothing but positive things to say about Draper Bee :)

There are two Draper Super Bee stores - Nebraska & Penns. I assume you're talking about the one East of the Mississippi. We deal with the Neb. Drapers and have excellent service from them.

I deal with the Nebraska Drapers. They are FANTASTIC!
I phoned in an order one day, early in the morning, and the order showed up in two days.
They are the best.

I really like the PA location, within an hour and in a pinch, they are open on Saturday, or at least they were. The other major local supplier is typically NOT open on Saturday.

My club has been getting bees from Drapers for several years and always had good luck.

I orderedmy bees in November from Drapers and I have asked them a few questions and have always gotten fast and accurate responces from them! If anyone is thinging about getting a few more packages I would take a look at what Draper has to offer.:)
Great people to deal with in both locations. Same family.

I agree with Grant, i bought queens from them last year and have ordered 10 more, due to be shipped April 6. I have ordered many bee supplies from them ( $700 to $800 dollars worth at a time) and get my supplies before i get the bill from them. Good people to deal with.:thumbsup: Jack
