Rosemary and Honey bee
Honey bees have 170 odorant receptors in their antenna, and have a sense of smell 50 times better than a dog. Bees are able to detect scents with their mouths, antennae and tips of their legs (tarsi). In all these areas bees have sensilla: tiny, hair-shaped organs that incorporate receptor nerve cells.
Their sense of smell is so precise that they can distinguish hundreds of different plant varieties. They can't resist the smell of my rosemary.
HMM!
