I’m slightly disappointed that they don’t have genetically engineered bees that either detonate or gradually neutralise mines
I guess training bees to find landmines will be the next step: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56344609
Get your tnt flavored honey! All natural tnt flavoring!
Cool idea though, hope it works out as planned
Good idea - hope it helps inspire innovation for de-mining, and also shows that bees can bounce back, if flowers do. By the way you can see the huge mined band -lack of agriculture - from satellite images (eg sentinel). Maybe this honey needs a song to help tell the story (recalling that “Where have all the flowers gone?” derives from a Don-cossack poem). Only a question, what if the flowers and bees don’t want to go away, after de-mining?
[ Incidentally, distributing honey as diplomacy is not unprecedented - I recall Poland putting pots of honey in climate convention conference bags. ]
