Nevertheless, the application of sniffer bees are still not popular and acceptable as compared to other There are few research groups actively involved in this study.
The natural food forging behavior of honey bees through the proboscis extension reflex is captured and further processed to be informatic during data interpretation. Sniffer bees are highly sensitive, cost conditioned to detect target odorants using sugar solution as a food reward during classical Pavlovian conditioning training. The performance of sniffer bees was found to be better or at least comparable with sniffer dogs in terms of number of targeted odorant and sensitivity limit. Ambient mass spectrometry is a fav cost and universality. However, Electronic nose has limitations in terms of its selectivity and sensitivity, whereas canines are easily disturbed by distract unreliable results. Electr canines are the most commonly used sniffing devices in the market. Various kinds of sensors or biosensors have critically been reviewed, especially for their advantages and limitations. This paper reviews the literature regarding the current, and potential future, use of biological organisms as sensors for forensic science applications. Recent literature reveals an increasing interest in olfactory receptors - the biological components that impart olfactory ability - for detecting volatile compounds associated with forensically significant substances such as explosives and illicit drugs.

While the fundamental aim for many developers of portable instruments is to replicate the remarkable ability of biological olfactory systems, such analytical equipment is yet to possess the detection and discriminatory powers achieved by biological sensors. A variety of insects including bees, wasps, and moths, which have also been shown to detect volatile compounds of forensic significance, have been investigated for their potential application in field-based detection systems.
Whole-organism biological sensors, such as detection canines, have been employed in forensic science as volatile compound detectors for many years. Biological olfactory systems possess the extraordinary ability to not only detect many thousands of distinct volatile compounds (odors) but also to discriminate between them. The detection and identification of volatile compounds is essential to the successful undertaking of numerous forensic analyses.
