How dogs detect diseases in bee hives.
By now, we're sure you're aware of the importance of bees in our food chain and the environment. Bees pollinate about a third of the food we eat. When bees pollinate, they are essentially fertilizing our food and allowing more than 90 percent of our flowers and plants to bloom. Some of these foods include blueberries, avocados, broccoli, and carrots, just to name a few. These are all "health" foods, so their existence is important to the human population as they provide antioxidants, important vitamins, and more. Bees also produce honey, and who doesn't love that sweet golden nectar? Farmers even "rent" bees and their hives during harvest season to ensure that their plants are being pollinated so that they can flourish.
Unfortunately, hives and their colonies can suffer from the bee disease known as American foulbrood. American foulbrood, a spore-forming bacterium, gives off an unpleasant smell that some say smells like rotting meat. It is important to be able to detect this smell so that the bacteria can be treated and eliminated before all the bees die and leave the hive.
So why are we talking about dogs and bees? How are they related? Well, one way that beekeepers, or beekeepers, have found a way to detect the smell of American foulbrood is by using the strong sense of smell that dogs have. Dogs can be trained to detect smells, and once trained, can detect a smell in a fraction of the time it would take a human.
Dogs are great at detecting smells because of their keen sense of smell. Humans can detect the smell of American foulbrood, but dogs have a high accuracy in detecting putrid smell, so the process is much faster. If they don't detect the smell immediately, they move on to the next hive without wasting any time.
