We can train a cassette full of bees -- but they're fragile in a box in the
field -- they have to be constrained, so they can't cool themselves, etc.
We've been playing around with training our free flying bees -- maybe dope them
with a marker so we can distinguish our trained bees from every other bee.
You're right though, LANL is getting lots of press for more or less
duplicating the bee in a box or bee hotel approach of Inscentinel

We know the Brits well, they spent a summer working with us in Missoula and
Yuma. We've used a similar screening assay since the late 90s.
