542　Honeybees find land mines 蜜蜂找地雷

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.

美国军方正在招募蜜蜂来找地雷。首先是训练蜜蜂对TNT炸药的气味有反应，然后在蜜蜂身上装上发送装置，再把它们放出去找地下的爆炸物。当它们闻到TNT炸药的气味，它们就在附近盘旋。军方循迹而至，便可安全地排除地雷。
