> With great sadness, I report to members of the Bee-l
>community the death of Edward E. Southwick, last Tues. 8/22/95.
>Dr. Southwick was a much loved teacher, instructor and friend.
>He was an internationally recognized bee expert and taught
>at the State University of New York at Brockport since 1977.
>Ed was also the founder and co-owner of Bee-l, which was created
>as a means for bee researchers to communicate and keep in touch
>around the world.
While aware of his work, I did not know Dr. Southwick personally.
I did however know some of his beekeeping students, and he was a gifted
teacher, appreciated and respected.
I know of one who had little interest in bees, who simply took the course
because it sounded neat, (and perhaps to fulfill a requirement) She got
really charged up, and last I knew, was still keeping bees.
Those of us who are beneficiaries of the information age, owe him a great
debt of gratitude, for he was one of the pioneers in bringing computor
technology into this ancient craft.
He will be sadly missed.
