About Us

Suzanne Daniels is a beekeeper and artisan in Truro, Nova Scotia.  She is the founder of Anther & Apiary, a line of quality skincare products that incorporate pure honey and beeswax.  Suzanne is dedicated to organic beekeeping practices and educating her children about the importance of bees in our ecosystem.

.

Suzanne’s grandfather was a beekeeper in North Carolina - where she was raised and still visits often.  When colony collapse disorder signaled a serious problem in the beekeeping community, she was compelled to join beekeeping associations in Nova Scotia, volunteer on farms, and start her own colony.

.

What began as a backyard zen hobby, expanded to 12 hives in 5 regions, or apiaries, across Colchester County.  

.

Anther & Apiary evolved out a deep respect for bees, a calling to educate others, and a desire to share the gifts they provide.

.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, and a background in neuroscience research and education, Suzanne’s scientific mind and passion for research keeps her deeply interested in the fascinating world of bees and beekeeping.

.

When not tending to the bees in her apiaries, she enjoys spending time with family, connecting with customers at markets, reading under the apples trees, yoga, and biking with friends.
