A retired police dog named Maple is now a hero for Michigan’s bees! After years of service, Maple was trained to sniff out American foulbrood, a devastating disease that wipes out entire bee colonies and costs beekeepers thousands. Outfitted in custom bee-proof gear, Maple can detect sick hives early, giving beekeepers a fighting chance to save their bees and honey. This creative teamwork between scientists and a former K-9 is helping protect Michigan’s 465 bee species—and our food supply. Would you trust a dog to help save your garden or farm? #Science #Michigan #Bees
