Maple

Maple is a retired American police dog, specifically an English Springer Spaniel, who has transitioned into a vital role in bee conservation. Equipped with a custom beekeeper suit, she utilizes her exceptional sense of smell to detect American foulbrood, a deadly bacterial infection in honeybee colonies. After serving for seven years as a search and rescue dog, Maple now aids in preventing colony loss by screening hives, making her a key player in efforts to combat the alarming decline in bee populations.
