Honey bees have 170 odorant receptors and have a sense of smell 50 times more powerful than a dog. Honey bees can taste with their feet! The claws on a honey bee’s foot are especially attuned to salt. Because of bees’ acute sense of smell, they can be trained to detect explosives, bombs, and landmines, as well as other chemicals of interest! #beekeeping #beefacts
