Bees can be trained to detect smells, including the smell of compounds in bombs, and thereby they can be used as bomb sniffers.

Appreciate bees

They can be, but have they ever been? I mean bomb sniffers
I've literally never seen a domesticated bee... I can't even imagine it honestly.
Not saying I don't believe, just wondering.

Not really, there's other issues, such a s high mortality rates and difficulties with outside enthronements, but it has been done. They're usually used in a manner where they're kept inside of a container and the air is introduced rather than having them fly around, though that's been done on a smaller scale and usually in a non human environment.

We should do more to protect bees, they're so important for the ecosystem and yet people keep decimating their numbers. So sad.
