Lee Henderson Watkins
Lee Henderson Watkins (1908–1972) was born in 1908. He was an amateur apiculturist and anthropologist, member of the AAA, president of the Alameda County Beekeepers' Association (ACBA) from 1949–1951,〔 and eventually emeritus apiarist of the University of California, Davis.〔
==Biography==
Growing up in the San Joaquin Valley in California, he attended the common schools of Selma, California, in Fresno County. His father was a beekeeper who taught the craft to his sons which became an inspiration for Watkin's great interest in agriculture and apiculture. Lee was also an avid enthusiast of running (especially sprinting) and enjoyed participating and watching track throughout his life.〔
Watkins spent a short but meaningful time in the Protestant Church where he over indulged in proselytization before abruptly ending his relationship with organized religion, indicated by his personalized moniker for the organization as 'Two-seed-in-the-spirit-predestinarian-Baptists.'〔
Watkins studied at both Fresno State College and the University of California, Berkeley, though never received a degree from either but remained a lifelong academic. His anthropological mentors were Alfred L. Kroeber, Lowie, Paul Radin, and Frederick Teggart. He was well respected within his field for his research, writing, and lectures. He informally remained at U.C. Berkeley studying anthropology and apiculture under his mentors. He was employed as an apiary assistant in the Department of Entomology at the University of California, Davis and studied the history of science, the history of technology, and the history of agriculture and ethnohistory.〔 Watkins is known for perpetually refuting that the American Indians had kept bees before Christopher Columbus. After his retirement from the Department of Entomology, he traveled the nation gathering notes, publications, and interviews, developing a wide breadth of knowledge on pioneer beekeepers.〔
