Biography
Bajári graduated from the Biography Chemistry Faculty of Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary as a teacher.[1]
In 1948, she took a position at the Hymenoptera (insect) collection of Hungarian Natural History Museum, and starting in 1954, continuing until her early death 1963, she was the curator of the collection.[1] At the beginning she started to process the collection of scraper wasps (Sphecidaes), and then started to assemble and process a huge part of the collection of real wasps (Ichneumonidaes).[2]
Since the death in 1915 of Győző Szépligeti, the collection's previous researcher, the museum's collection had lacked a Hungarian researcher making it a difficult part of the collection. With Bajári's expertise, she became the first domestic specialist in decades to undertake this work.[3]
Bajári took over as editor of The Folia Entomologica Hungarica journal in 1963, but her sudden death shortly thereafter prevented her from completing the issue she had begun.[4]
She died in 1963.[2]
