To Bee or Not to Bee
I Its well known that dogs have a remarkable sense of smell; as a result, they are the animals most usually chosen
to detect illegal drugs or explosives. However, experiments have shown that bees can also be used to sniff out
a wide range of substances.
II Scientists know that bees stick out their proboscises, or tongues, when they expect to taste something sweet. In
laboratory tests, bees were exposed simultaneously to a specific smell and to sweetened water. The bees learned
to associate the specific smell with the sugar. Eventually, they stuck out their proboscises even when they were
exposed to the smell without the sugar. This indicated that bees could be trained to detect specific smells.
III Using this knowledge, a device was created by placing a small number of bees in a special sniffer box. Air
from the surrounding environment was then directed into the box by a fan. The bees reaction was filmed on
a video camera. If a significant number of the bees stuck out their proboscises, then the substance being checked
was believed to be present and an alarm was activated.
IV Using bees rather than dogs to detect smells has got a number of advantages. First, they are more accurate; bees
detection is an instinctive response, rather than a result of lengthy training, as with dogs. Second, bees are not
heavy enough to set off a bomb or landmine by mistake, as a dog and its trainer might. Finally, bees are much
cheaper and quicker to train; it takes only pennies and a few minutes to train a large number of bees, whereas
a dog needs three months training.
V Although a bee-sensor is not yet commercially available, it may become so within the next decade. When it does,
airline passengers may find that they are smelled by a sniffer box of bees instead of being checked for drugs or
explosives by a detector.
