Inscentinel Sniffer Bees (youtube.com)

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this. I know we're not great at generalized scent sensors yet, and that even sensors designed for a particular scent are fickle, but I have to believe that we can do this in a better way than developing a system to confine, train, and deploy bees as sensor arrays.
