Marie-Aimée Lullin

Marie-Aimée Lullin (5 April 1751 – 25 January 1822) was the transcriber and observer for her husband, a highly regarded entomologist who became blind at an early age.

Life Lullin was the daughter of Pierre Lullin (1712–1789), who served as syndic of Geneva, and Sarah Rilliet (1723–1751).

She married François Huber (1750–1831), the famous blind entomologist, on 28 April 1776 in Geneva, Republic of Geneva after having to wait seven years to do so. Lullin had become friends with Huber at 17 when they were dance partners, but Lullin's father would not allow her to marry, at so young an age, a man with failing eyesight.

They had three children together: Marie Anne Huber (1779–1871)

Research Lullin was considered "one of the earliest women to study insects experimentally." Lullin became her husband's "reader, secretary and observer." Burnens received recognition for his assistance in the preface, whereas Lullin did not. When Burnens had left Huber, Marie had gained a larger role doing more of the investigations and all of the observations while working with their son.

Their discoveries on bees include the mating processes of the queen, the communicative function of the antenna, the production of wax, and the process of how drones left the hive.
