​Speaker: Dr. Clarence Collison, Emeritus Professor of Entomology and Head of the Entomology and Plant Pathology at Mississippi State University. 

Clarence grew up on a dairy farm in southern Michigan where he became interested in entomology through 4-H. He first became interested in beekeeping when he took an apiculture class, as a junior at Michigan State University.  His Bachelor of Science (Entomology, 1968), Master of Science (Entomology, 1973) and Ph.D. (Entomology, 1976) degrees were from Michigan State University.  Both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees specialized in Apiculture; studying nectar secretion and factors affecting bee behavior and pollination of pickling cucumbers. 

Dr. Collison has taught apiculture at Michigan State University and The Pennsylvania State University.  His areas of research emphasis have been concerned with the effects of insecticidal sprays on honey bee foraging, factors that regulate drone production in honey bee colonies, pollination of birdsfoot trefoil and the distribution of varroa mites within the colony.  Over 600 refereed manuscripts, popular articles and Extension bulletins have been published, and hundreds of presentations have been made at professional meetings, extension workshops and to various commodity organizations.  He writes the monthly column “A Closer Look” and prior to that "Do You Know?" for Bee Culture, conducts numerous workshops around the country and frequently judges honey shows.  He has written two books: What Do You Know? was published in 2003 and A Closer Look-Basic Honey Bee Biology in 2017.  He and his wife Sally live in Estill Springs, TN, and have three sons; Craig, Keith, and Eric and nine grandchildren.

Please join us - our monthly meetings are always free and open to the public!​
