Similar to training a dog, bees are trained through Pavlovian conditioning (a simple association of a smell with a food reward). The insect is exposed to the odour and simultaneously rewarded with sugar solution. After 5 odour presentations the bee is trained. When the bee detects the odour it expects a food reward and extends its tongue. This response is a reflex action and is not consciously controlled by the bee. 36 Sniffer Bees are then placed in specially designed machine that can detect when the bees tongue extends to alert the presence of an illegal substance. 36 SNIFFER BEES 300 SECONDS AVG.
