Current knowledge of honey bee behavior and conditioning to explosive vapors

To find distant food, honeybee relies on well developed sense of smell. Conditioning the bees for pollination of less attractive fruits is standard procedure in agriculture. Conditioning of honeybees to the explosive smell is based on these experiences. Glass feeder was designed to provide a sufficient amount of food for the honeybees in the area with explosive smell. During the first two or three days honeybees find food and learn to recognize feeders containing food and explosive smell. When the honeybees find relocated food in less than 15 minutes, and there are no honeybees on controls, we assume that honeybees have connected a source of food with smell. Relocated conditioned colony on a new area was used to follow clustering of the bees on smell target.
