The contraption below is a project by Portugese designer Susana Soares. The device is designed for people to breathe into. The air fills a large chamber with a few trained bees inside. Apparently, the trained bees can detect odors on the person’s breath that signify presence of cancer and other serious illnesses. If the odor is present, the bees rush into a smaller chamber.
The project is still in the very early stages, but there has been a great deal of interest in it, as if it can be guaranteed accurate, it is a very cost-effective and simple way to detect early illness. Thoughts?
