Dutch bees trained to detect COVID-19

Показать описание

Dutch researchers have trained bees to detect COVID-19 in test samples.

Scientists used sugary-water as a reward for bees - when they indicated a positive coronavirus result by extending their tongues.

Bees have a keen sense of smell and researchers hope the insects could be trained as a cheap, fast method for detecting the illness.

Not bad considering its never been clinically isolated . W.H.O in house bees perhaps ?

How can bees detect it when our own tests are unpredictable?

My pet cat can smell a rat at 50m, no training required.

But Gretta told us all the bees had died and it was somehow all our fault.

Strange research topic.
Bees only live for a few weeks, so they would have to constantly be training new bees, so I think training dogs would have been a more sensible choice.

Cue the scene from the movie “I, Robot”, where Will Smith sneezes while muttering BS during a speech by the head of the company that builds the robots. The guy stops and looks at him, where Will Smith replies...”Oh, I’m sorry. I’m allergic to BS” !!!!
