# Honeybees hunt for land mines. RICHLAND, Wa. (AP) Honeybees equipped with
radio tags no larger than a grain of rice may one day be used to detect
antipersonnel land mines on battlefields and elsewhere. Researchers seek to
train and track entire colonies of bees, conditioned to prefer something
other than honey, such as TNT, the primary component of land mines. Ultima-
tely, it may be possible to carry a hive to a site and release the bees to
search for explosives or other things, such as methamphetamine-making
ingredients or nuclear waste. www.cnn.com/NATURE/9906/03/bee.tags.ap/
: What substances would you like to detect? Would you mind being busted by
an insect? Will you have to be very very careful about what you do and eat?

"She thrashed and bolted under him like a high-spirited horse as the winds
picked up fury and a thunderhead moved in over the stables, and the two
lovers' hoarse breathing matched the racing wind as Tony's jockey shorts
stretched to their limit around his ankles and the lightning's whip-like
crackle spurred them on to an exciting finish." --Larry D. Kohlhorst
