"Richard Archbold and the Archbold Biological Station," a biography by Roger A. Morse

[ Biennial Contents | Biennial 97-98 ]

Roger Morse, renowned professor of apiculture at Cornell University’s Department of Entomology, and seven of his graduate students, regularly conducted research on honey bee behavior and biology at Archbold since 1963. After his recent retirement from Cornell’s faculty, Roger started work on a biography of Richard Archbold, visiting libraries and archives in New York (and especially at the American Museum of Natural History) during the summer, and combing the Station’s rich historical archives during the winter. The book (see dust-jacket photo, this page), published in April 2000 by University Press of Florida, includes a foreword by Archbold’s Executive Director Hilary Swain and a chapter by Richard’s sister and President of Archbold Expeditions, Frances Archbold Hufty. Sadly, Roger Morse died on 12 May 2000 at his home in Ithaca, New York, just a few weeks after the book was published.
