Huber is universally regarded as "the father of modern bee-science" and his "Nouvelles Observations sur Les Abeilles (or "New Observations on Bees") revealed all the basic scientific truths for the biology and ecology of honeybees.
Huber anses i dag for at være 'bi-videnskabens fader' og hans værk Nouvelles Observations sur Les Abeilles ('Nye observationer af Bier') beskrev alle de basale videnskabelige fakta om biernes biologi og økologi.
