I have a question for him! Again and again I get questions in meetings on feeding cane sugar syrup and whether one should alter the pH to mimic that of honey, and/or alter its nutritional profile. I would love to hear Dr. Collison's response to this question!WesternWilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765821422247317378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-17013135954560019562013-10-13T17:14:54.090-04:002013-10-13T17:14:54.090-04:00Just listed this book on Ebay if anyone is interes...Just listed this book on Ebay if anyone is interestedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-37315995639079924852013-03-03T09:55:13.716-05:002013-03-03T09:55:13.716-05:00Although they don't have Collison's book r...Although they don't have Collison's book right now, I love www.bookfinder.com for used books - they are a link to a ton of used bookstores.

I feel lucky to have found one for about $35 several years ago; I can't remember the online bookseller now, but it took them awhile to find it and fill my order. Other possible sources are GoodWill (yes, they sell books online) and local library systems which cull little-read books for Friends of the Library sales to get more shelf space. Unfortunately library systems don't usually provide an online listing of sale books (you'd think that would be simple since they have online catalogs), but a check of the catalog to see if they have it and calls to librarians may be worthwhile so you're alerted if a book you want is culled.Pennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-77246278373933026662013-03-02T10:41:59.450-05:002013-03-02T10:41:59.450-05:00Before Collison started the column A Closer Look w...Before Collison started the column A Closer Look with Audrey Sheridan in Bee Culture, he had a monthly multiple choice quiz called What Do You Know? for many years. It was a challenging test, but his answers always gave great explanations for the correct choice. (I didn't buy the book since I saved the columns and thought the book was probably a compilation of them, though I'm not sure.) Perhaps Bee Culture subscribers could access those columns through the magazine's archives. <br /><br />I think Clarence Collison also would be happy to let beekeepers know where to get copies-- perhaps he even has some for sale from his author's stock. Bee Culture doesn't give his email, but does say he is Emeritus Professor of Entomology and Dept. Head Emeritus of Entomology and Plant Pathology at MS State Univ., Miss State, MS so a web check of the school and an email to the dept. should reach him.
