The bomb sniffing part is not news, but the last part of the article that mentions building the boxes to carry them presents an opportunity for beeks. I can't imagine what a MILSPEC bee box would cost. This also opens up the chance to breed a new line of sniffing bees, which would be preferable to just training mutts.
