RF Tagging of Insects - Honeybees for Land Mine Detection

Computing and Information Sciences - RF Tagging of Insects--Honeybees for Land Mine Detection

... "Currently, our RF tags are helping to determine if bees can be used as living chemical detectors in the mission to find millions of explosives or hazardous materials scattered worldwide. Many animals (insects in particular) show promise as living chemical detectors. Recently the IDL supported a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded project headed by Jerry Bromenshenk of the University of Montana and Ron Gilbert of PNNL's Electronic Systems Group to use passive RF tags to monitor the behavior of bees." ...
