Researchers at New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory have trained honeybees to sniff out explosives ranging from dynamite and C-4 to the Howitzer propellant grains used in improvised explosive devices in Iraq. The bees were taught to stick out their proboscis - the tube they use to feed on nectar - when they smell bombs. Experts hope the bees could be used to detect explosives in airports and at roadside security checks.
