Swiss entomologist renowned for groundbreaking studies of honeybee behavior despite his blindness.
Born in Geneva in 1750, François Huber lost his sight early but pursued an interest in natural history.
He collaborated with his wife, Catherine, to observe bees through a custom-designed hive with glass walls.
His detailed experiments revealed the social structure, communication methods, and gender roles within colonies.
Huber’s work culminated in the influential "Nouvelles observations sur les abeilles" published in 1814.
He became a member of several scientific academies and inspired future research in ethology.
Huber’s legacy endures in the field of apiology and the study of insect societies.
