Bee Secure
Security system using the Pavlovian response | |
Not suitable for homes with people that are anaphylactic
Once upon a time the was that Pavlov guy, who trained dogs
to drool at the ring of a bell. This has probably been used
in
a few ideas here, but heres another one:
Train bee's, or wasps, so that when they hear a buzzer/
alarm
of
a certain frequency, they attack anyone who runs. how?
Take 1 man with stick, 1 buzzer, 1 beehive, and 1 bee-proof
suit. Ring buzzer, while man in suit attacks hive and runs.
Bees attack person running. Repeat as much as neccessary.
Someone breaks in? no problem, just call out the bees.
Oh yeah, bee's will follow people for quite a distance before
stopping, so catching thiefs who don't mind a few bites will
be easier.

Will the bees drool, too? I don't want them if they do. |
|
| |
Will they be Africanized? |
|
| |
what's in it for the bees? |
|
| |
Less Flowers, More Honey? |
|
| |
I don't believe bees are trainable - you might need a blunderbuss packed with nectar to shoot at the thief before releasing them. |
|
| |
Wasps might be better, seeing as how from what I remember of 2nd grade entemological rumor, your average every-day bee dies after a sting. |
|
| |
"Will they be Africanized?" Yeah, now that would be a killer security system. |
|
| |
Do they actually kill? I live in Canada, I wouldn't know |
|
| |
You can train bees to stick their proboscis out in response to thinking they're going to get sugar. Not sure about training them to attack though. |
|
| |
Well it could be slightly threatening maybe? |
|
| |
Do bees even have ears? If they do, they must have the worst case of collective tinnitus imaginable. |
|
| |
I like [Tabs]'s suggestion, though. That would be the bee's knees. |
|
| |
What becomes of the owner should (s)he be running through his/her own property? |
|
| |
[swimr[ "Train bee's" - Train bee's what?
On another note though, better to train wasps, as they can sting any number of burglars with impunity, whilst your honey-bees will be giving up their lives to protect your valuables. |
|
| |
You know, I wasn't going to say anything either---but yes, somebody must. |
|
| |
"bee's" (with apostrophe) = something belonging to a bee ("the bee's knees") |
|
| |
"bees" (no apostrophe) = more than one bee |
|
| |
Now stop throwing those erasers at me and do your assignments. |
|
| |
[Ander] You forgot "Bees' knees" - the knees which belong to a group of bees. |
|
| |
Not to be cruel, but I wouldn't be comfortable with this system in my house unless the bees were sealed in a chamber with an automatic trap door the whole time. Can you imagine waking up and having yourself and everything in the bedroom covered in bees? Also, what do you do with the bees once they're released? Do they go back to the hive on their own? |
|
| |
And, last but not least:
"The Bees's knees" - Knees belonging to a man or woman known only as "The Bees." |
|
| |
It's all downhill from here, kiddies. Better get out while you can. |
|
| |
I can't believe you forgot "the bee's knee's", belonging to the knee of the bee in question. huff. |
