Ingram did research on the effects of Monsanto's herbicide, Roundup, as a proposed cause of colony collapse disorder in honey bees.
In March 2012, his bees were seized by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, with a claim that they were infected by American foulbrood.{{cite web|url=http://www.prairie-advocate-news.com/5-2-12/heart_ingram5_2_12.html |title=Heart of the Matter – Ingram Gets His Day In Court - Three Weeks Late |publisher=Prairie-advocate-news.com |date= |accessdate=2013-08-17}}{{Cite web |last=Sarich |first=Christina |date=2013-05-31 |title=Illinois Ag.

He has asserted that his 15 years of research regarding the effects of a herbicide on bees was the cause of the seizure.{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.theorganicview.com/environment/what-happened-to-terry-ingrams-beehives/ |title=What Happened To Terry Ingram's Beehives? | |publisher=Theorganicview.com |date=2012-06-01 |accessdate=2013-08-17}}{{cite web|url=http://www.beesource.com/forums/showthread.php?268482-Terrence-Ingram-11-Hives-Destroyed-by-the-IDofA |title=Terrence Ingram - 11 Hives Destroyed by the IDofA |publisher=Beesource.com |date= |accessdate=2013-08-17}}{{cite web|url=http://www.pacc-news.com/5-2-12/heart_ingram5_2_12.html |title=Heart of the Matter – Ingram Gets His Day In Court - Three Weeks Late |publisher=Pacc-news.com |date= |accessdate=2013-08-17}}
