ReadingRead the text and answer the questions that follow .

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 chosento 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 checkedwas believed to be present and an alarm was activated.

IVUsing bees rather than dogs to detect smells has got a number of advantages. First, they are more accurate; beesdetection 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.
