| notable_students =Lonnie Nathaniel Standifer (1926 - 1996) was an entomologist born in Itasca,Texas.[1] An expert in honey bee physiology and nutrition, in 1970 he became the first African-American scientist to be appointed director of the USDA's Carl Hayden Bee Research Center.[1][2]

Early life and education

Standifer was born in Itasca, Texas on October 28, 1926. He was one of the 10 children of Emma and Nathaniel Standifer.[1]

Standifer gained a Bachelor of Science degree from Prairie View A & M University in Texas in 1949, a Masters of Science from Kansas State University in 1951, and a PhD from Cornell University in 1954.[3] The title of his dissertation was "Laboratory Studies on the Toxicity of Selected Chlorinated Hydrocarbon and Phosphate Chemicals to Third Instar Larvae of the House Fly, Musta Domestica Linn".[4]

Career and research

Standifer taught at Tuskegee University, Cornell University, and Southern University before moving to the USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Tucson, Arizona in 1956.[1] He was promoted to a research position in 1960, and appointed director of the USDA's Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Tucson in 1970.[1]

The Bee Research Center was the largest bee research facility in the United States. Standifer followed Frank Edward Todd[5] and Marshall Levin[6] as leader,[7] the first African-American to be appointed Director. The Center's focus had been on pesticides and bees, and Standifer added bee nutrition to its research program.[8] Standifer held the position until 1981 and he retired for health reasons in his 50s (in 1983).[1]

His work on bees was published in several journals, including Journal of Agricultural Research, American Bee Journal, Apidologie, and the Annals of the Entomological Society of America.[3] He was a member of the Entomological Society of America and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1] He was also a counselor member of the Tucson Council for Civic Unity.[9]

Personal life

Standifer married Blanche Hazel Jackson, a nurse and Meharry Medical College alum.[10] They divorced in 1963.[11] He died after a long illness on March 14, 1996 in Fort Worth, Texas.[1]
