Croatia training honeybees to detect dormant land mines</a>
<li>Researchers in Croatia are training honeybees to sniff out land mines
that remain in the country. Some 466 square miles possibly still contain
mines planted during the Balkan wars in the 1990s. Honeybee expert Nikola
Kezic of Zagreb University mixes TNT with a sugar solution so the bees
learn to detect the explosives. So far, the bees seem to prefer the
TNT-laced food, he said.
