More about Eva Crane for the Newbees out there.
Eva Crane was the director of the International Bee Research Association
for 35 years, Bee Scientist and beekeeping historian. In the course of
her many travels she has obtained first-hand knowledge of traditional and
modern beekeeping in some sixty countries, and also honey hunting in
places where it was still practiced. She encouraged museums to collect and
preserve beekeeping artifacts; honey vessels, ropes, ladders and other
materials still being used in honey hunting in some parts of Africa.
The publication of her book The Archeology of Beekeeping, stimulated a
number of readers to search for possible hives among excavated material,
and also for relics of traditional beekeeping that still survive. Dr.
Crane has encouraged the recording and publication of such finds, and
since 1985 has been especially interested in rock art related to bees and
honey hunting.
Her books include Bees and Beekeeping: The World History of Beekeeping and
Honey Hunting, Practice and World Resources, and From Where I Sit: Essays
on Bees, Beekeeping, and Science (with Mark L. Winston).
