Episode 53 - Eva Crane

Episode 53 - Eva Crane

In this buzz-worthy episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire (and translator) brings us the story of leading bee scientist Eva Crane. Born to humble beginnings, Eva obtained a PhD in nuclear physics but quickly shifted her attention from atoms to apiculture. She travelled the world to document all things bees, and was particularly interested in the relationship between bees and humans, including the long history of human honey cultivation.

Amateur bee enthusiast (and producer/host) Susan Stone is joined by other DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens for the introducing honors.

And we have a delightful array of bee-related images and links (and a transcript of this episode) on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/05/12/podcast-53-eva-crane/
