Bee tongues sniff out bombs

Inscentinel Ltd. has developed the Vapour Detection Instrumentation that is said to be able to detect explosives, cancer, drugs, and virtually any other item that you’d like to sniff out. What’s the amazing technology behind it? The answer stems from nature itself – a trained bee tongue. The company trains bees the same way a police force trains dogs, although don’t expect our winged friends to bring you the morning paper anytime soon. The Pavlovian principle is used to full effect here to train even the simple minded bees. I guess there are no batteries to change on this one, you just have to feed the bee with some nectar and they’re good to go.
