Conditioning of honeybee colony on TNT and DNT scent

摘要: Experiment was focused on the conditioning of Apis mellifera carnica colony to search for DNT and TNT scent in controlled environment. After preparation testing mesh tent feeders, 10 training trials were performed. Majority experiments carried out a period from April July 2012. For bees, artificial targets designed. Six observers counted bees crossing and/or lending six targets, which three with without (control). Crossing area 20 cm above target. Landing need touch or sit any part In average, 29.22 28.69 control targets. The average number landing 9.72 2.78 controls. When target DNT, 61.19 42.64 Results more distinct when 40.42 landed comparison 2.91 recognizing higher due its intense smell. These results indicate that trained can clearly distinguish odor by it.
