My husband was telling me about a news item he heard on National Public Radio about how 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,” my husband explained, “the insects hover over the area and the military tracks them to the site to safely eliminate the land mine.”  “Gee,” I remarked, “it gives a whole new meaning to the slogan ‘Be all that you can be!’”
