In July 2020, a team of researchers for BMC Infectious Diseases revealed dogs could be used to detect coronavirus in patients at a success rate of 94 per cent. Now, scientists in the Netherlands have found another way to detect coronavirus: bees. By using sugar water solution as a reward, scientists were able to train the bees to detect positive samples of coronavirus collected from SARS-CoV-2 infected minks. Bees have been used to detect coronavirus in animals and humans in a new study out of the Netherlands.
