Inscentinel uses the exquisitely sensitive olfactory sense of bees to detect minute concentrations of volatile compounds such as explosives, drugs, or odours that indicate disease. The bees are held in a harness and can then be trained to recognize particular scents, in much the same way that sniffer dogs can be trained. In the presence of the odour for which they have been trained, the bees have a proboscis extension reflex, and this is then picked up by a camera and its associated software that then sends a signal to an operator or simply logs the data. A US patent has been granted and other patent applications are proceeding.
