Bees can sniff out landmines? That’s the extraordinary finding of a team from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. They’re working to address the violent legacy of war in the Balkans.
Over 100,000 undetected mines are believed to be out there in Bosnia and Croatia, long after fighting ceased. Troops of the stripy variety are fanning out to avoid calamity.
How does it even work? Bees have strong antennae, so in a sense come fully equipped already. But there’s a lot more to the process than that. The insects need to be trained. Plus experts need to keep track of them – and no way are they doing that on foot.
