Kirby's 1802 book titled Monographia Apum Angliae (A Monograph of the #Bees in England), attributes the name of the bee to the Rev. Goodenough with the following Latin explanation:
A viro Reverendo S. Goodenough, LL. D. Ca¬nonico Windsoriensi, Botanico summo tum et in Entomologia lynceo, nomen suum haec Apis mutuatur.
…roughly translated as:
This bee is named after the Reverend Samuel Goodenough, LL. D. Canon of Windsor, Chief Botanist of the time and in #entomology very sharp-sighted.
