Harry Hyde Laidlaw Papers, - California Digital Library.
Bee biologist Harry Hyde Laidlaw Jr. (1907-2003), known as “the father of honey bee genetics,” served on the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty from 1947 until his retirement in 1974. Long after his retirement, however, the professor continued his research and outreach programs, publishing his last scientific paper at age 87 and his last book at 90.
At UC Davis, he maintained a honey bee-breeding program for 24 years, from 1989 to 2015, managed by bee breeder-geneticist Kim Fondrk at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility. They discovered a link between social behavior and maternal traits in bees.

Harry H. Laidlaw, Jr. (deceased 19 September 2003), a professor at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), was elected as Fellow in 1991. Dr. Laidlaw was considered the “father of honey bee genetics.” His work to develop methods for artificial insemination of honey bee queens (Apis mellifera L.) led to the first manual insemination of an insect, and the beginning of honey bee.View Honey Bee Research Research Papers on Academia.edu for free.

The impact of bees on our world is immeasurable. Bees are responsible for the evolution of the vast array of brightly colored flowers and for engineering the niches of multitudes of plants, animals, and microbes. They've painted our landscapes with flowers through their pollination activities, and they have evolved the most complex societies to aid their exploitation of the environment.
