The Draper family has always been self-sufficient. The year was 1974 when Bernie Draper, the father, ( now in heaven ) had a dream of establishing a honey handling and bee supply business in Pennsylvania. It all began with one hive then Bernie's son, Bill and grandson Royal had increased bee-hive colony numbers to around 1, 000, producing annually from 60, 000 to 110, 000 pounds of honey. But today we have scaled down to only 240 hives simply because the demand for high quality U.S.A. produced bee products keeps us so busy that we hardly have time to go out and work the hives not to mention it is increasingly hard to find good help. We hope as the 4th generation gets older that we can count on them to help us out, we then may then be able to increase the colony numbers back up to around 1000 hives. We ship anywhere in the U.S.A. and have shipped as far as Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Sweden. Draper's honey products are delivered by our own vans from Portland, ME to Clearwater, FL to Indianapolis, IN. ABC's "Good Morning America" featured Draper's as well as both local TV stations. They sponsor drug awareness on the radio and are active in the promotion of tourism in Tioga County, Pa. Personal contact with the Draper family is to be remembered. If you want to stop by and talk, then by all means do so. The customer is first at Draper's. ( taken from an article in the local paper )
