One favorite Hanukkah indulgence is the fried honey puff.

A study by the nuclear weapons lab has concluded that trained honeybees can readily detect the explosives used in bombs, even in the tiniest quantities. In thousands of trials conducted over the past 18 months at the lab, bees got the job done, sticking out their tongues when they smelled explosives. The bees even underwent field trials, successfully sniffing out explosives in a simulated roadside bomb, in a vehicle, and on a person rigged like a suicide bomber. Bees have a phenomenal sense of s...
