Did you know that bees have been trained using sugar as a reward, to sniff out traces of drugs and bomb chemicals?

Like at a truck stop, you hang a bee hive of these trained bees, and they will search the trucks for residue or traces of bombs. Then they swarm around the spot and you know whats inside.

The bees truck targets were swarmed for hours, while empty or placebo trucks, had a bee or two an hour.

Oh and bees can train the others in the hive what to do. So you dont even have to train all of them. They teach each other.

yeah its true...

It was like a 3 year experiment.

Bees are as sensitive to molecular scents (or whatever) as dogs. they can be taught the same way as dogs, with rewards for conditioned responses. Then it knows its found the bombs cause it has replaced that scent from the usual flower scent they used to know.

Lol, and the allergy thing is one part of the problem with what this group is trying to do. They want to one day be able to have bees scour city blocks during large public events to search for threats, lol.

It is almost unimaginable to have masses of people with swarms of bees around. So they have to solve a bunch of problems still when it comes to the public.
