Adapted from Reuters copy. Better quality, fewer lazy clichés :)
Bees can be trained to sniff out explosives using a process known as hymenoptera training. It takes about five hours to train a single bee.
However, using bees to detect explosives has proved unreliable because they actually sniff out the additives and are unable to detect explosives in their pure form.
Nice to see Wales not being used as a measurement for once.
