According to this article, (which I only found out about through my aunt's blog--love that cyber-space network) the military is training bees to sniff out bombs. I just find this fascinating, maybe because something as ancient as an insect is becoming an integral part of modern warfare. They're not using robots to sniff out those bombs, just your average honey bee. The world is such an amazing place.
This also reminded me of those old disney cartoons where Donald Duck is at war with a bunch of bees. Does anyone remember those? I used to love them. I wonder if I could find some clips online somewhere...

I wonder about all the high-tech "stuff" that was used in order to discover that bees can sniff out bombs?
