Los Alamos Laboratory Trains Bees To Detect Explosives

LOS ALAMOS, NM - NOVEMBER 30: Bomb-sniffing honey bees being monitored by video stick out their tongues (or proboscis) in search of something sweet after detecting a finite concentration of explosives in an air sample introduced during a training session November 30, 2006 at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Using Pavlovian-like techniques, researchers are taking advantage of the bees' keen sense of smell and their love of nectar to produce weapons in the war on terror.
