This isn't that recent of a story, either. (the NYT article that's the first link on that page is from 2002).
Nor that surprising, seeing how bees would have to have a fantastic sense of smell for their "day job".

Oh, I wasn't slamming you for that. Just wanted to point out to the doubters ;p that it's an "actual" story that even has been around for a while, not some Weird News Of the World or something. :)

Google is always my friend.

However, when one is posting news, I expect a link to be included, hence why I was asking the original poster rather than looking it up myself.

Most newspapers these days have corresponding websites upon which one can find the article they may have read in the physical paper.

If bees can be trained, so can all the other species in the insect kingdom.
Muhuwahaha!

All your honey is belong to us! :eek:

Who can I sue if I get stung?

You'll have to save the carcass, and look up the brand in the Observer's Book of Bee Brands to identify the owner. BTW, bee branding is a very fine art, almost as difficult as roping one.
