Hello All,
.In the 1992 copy of "The Hive and the Honey Bee"
 Harry H.Laidlaw wrote the chapter 23 which includes the section on
 instumental insemination of honeybees.
 At the start of chapter 23 (pg.989) Joe Graham writes about Harry Laidlaw,
 quote:
 Harry H. Laidlaw,jr., Professor Emeritus,University of
 California,Davis,California. Author of Contemperary Queen Rearing and
 internationally known expert on ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION of queen honey
bees.
Lets all see  future books on beekeeping use the correct terms.
 For the archives:
 Lloyd R. Watson in 1927 demonstrated that queen honey bees could be
 inseminated and gave us the term "instrumental insemination". After 74
years
 we should expect bee books to use the correct terms.
  In my opinion  the 1992 copy of *The Hive and the Honey Bee* is one of the
best books ever  written on beekeeping.  The 1992  edition is a step above
the earlier editions in my opinion and Joe Graham, as editor,  did a
excellent job.
 Sincerely,
