Famous beekeepers

I was going to compile A LIST, but Google is lots easier than research.

The only ones I'd heard of (leaving aside odd wonderments like Alexander the Large and Dan Quayle) were Karl von Frisch, L.L. Langstroth and Brother Adam (Karl Kehrle).

If you're looking for a little light reading, check out Cornell University's The Hive and the Honeybee Collection, an online library of 19th century beekeeping texts.
