Michelle McPherson is a consulting ecologist and beekeeper. She owns a small, thriving apiary in Atlantic Canada that emphasizes bee health and sustainability with a natural beekeeping style that is gentle and preventative. Eight years in, her colonies thrive year after year. She also sells high quality raw honey, comb honey, beeswax, and nucleus colonies.
Michelle is passionate about helping people connect with bees and nature. She loves teaching courses about honey bees, wild bees, and bee conservation, and is inspired when people become excited about doing the right things for bees.
As a big-picture thinker, Michelle attends international bee conferences to discover what’s happening for honey bees and wild bees in different corners of the world. Their stories are complex and fascinating. Michelle is committed to life-long learning in the field of apiculture, and will receive a Master Beekeeper Certification from Cornell University in spring 2021.
