Early bee researchers in the US Department of Agriculture

S. E. Mcgregor, L. N. Standifer, And M. D. Levin 

The information contained in this article came largely from old Division of Bee Culture records, the memories of the authors, and from a 1939 summary by W. J. Nolan, 'Accomplishments of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine in Bee Culture.' This review is not intended to include all the scientists who did bee research for the USDA, nor was any attempt made to describe the wide variety of subjects on which research was conducted. This should be a fascinating task for some future historian.
