The U.S. military is enlisting honeybees to find land mines. The insects are trained to react to the scent of TNT, then are fitted with transmitters and sent out to search for underground explosives. When they smell TNT the insects hover over the area and the military tracks them to the site to safely eliminate the land mine.
美國軍方正在招募蜜蜂來找地雷。首先是訓(xùn)練蜜蜂對(duì)TNT炸藥的氣味有反應(yīng),然后在蜜蜂身上裝上發(fā)送裝置,再把它們放出去找地下的爆炸物。當(dāng)它們聞到TNT炸藥的氣味,它們就在附近盤旋。軍方循跡而至,便可安全地排除地雷。
