It’s known around the science community that trained bees are known to be able to sniff out such ailments as forms of cancer, the common cold, even pregnancy (an ailment to some.) The Bee’s Project incases the yellow jackets into hand blown glass objects, where the insects can smell and hover over your saliva, telling you of all of the ailments you might have.

If I wanted a normal Venus Fly Trap, I’d go to my local florist. But normalcy is boring, so I’d pick one up from the Dicovery Store. Sure, it might not be a “real” plant, but can a real plant lure insects into its grasps, sense the fly’s motion, and then chomp down on the little guy, swallowing him (or preferably, her) whole? I thought not. (Actually, I’m pretty sure they can.)
After being swallowed, the fly drifts into a containment jar, where you can keep your fly friend forever and ever, pointing your finger and tormenting him about how he’ll never see his wife and 4 billion larva children ever again. — Andrew Dobrow
