Terrence N. Ingram is an American author and activist, who lives in Apple River, Illinois.
He is best known for his books on the bald eagle, the Eagle Nature Foundation, and his work in rebuilding the bald eagle population to remove it from the threatened species lists. His book, Eagle, is a popular photo book.[1] He has also published numerous articles on the recovery of the bald eagle population.[2]
He has also been active as a bee keeper. He is an apiary instructor and bee researcher, as well as a columnist with the prestigious American Bee Journal. His bees were seized by the Illinois Department of Agriculture recently, with a claim that they were infected by American foulbrood.[3] However, the hives were destroyed prior to the hearing, and therefore he could not present evidence of infection, or lack of infection of his hives. He has asserted that his 15 years of research regarding the effects of a herbicide on bees was the cause of the seizure.[4]
Education
Ingram is primarily a farmer with degrees in math and physics and one of his minors is biology.[5]

In 1995, Ingram founded the Eagle Nature Foundation. He and the foundation are credited as a large influence in removing the bald eagle from the American endangered species list. His research into DDT helped lead to its US ban in 1972.

Ingram did research on the effects of Monsanto's herbicide, Roundup, as a cause of colony collapse disorder in honey bees.
In March 2012, the Illinois Department of Agriculture seized most of his bee hives while he was at a family event. The bees disappeared while in the possession of the IDoA along with 15 years of research.[6][7]
