Samuel D. Ramsey is an American entomologist. Samuel Ramsey grew up in the Washington D.C. area. His parents were pastors. Ramsey was afraid of insects as a young child, but developed an interest in them when he was seven after reading books about insects at his local library. He graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in entomology in 2011, and received his PhD from the University of Maryland College Park in 2018. He was a student of Dennis vanEngelsdorp during his time there. Ramsey specializes in the study of Varroa destructor, the most significant cause of health decline in honey bee populations worldwide. For decades, researchers assumed the mites fed on the hemolymph of the honey bee, but Ramsey's research revealed that the mites were feeding on the honey bee's fat body tissue, which explained why pesticides were unsuccessful in killing the mites.
