Daz,

You stole my thunder I was just about to post the same link.

Here is the website.  From what I can see it isn't just a moneymaking scam. 

If it raises awareness about beekeeping & the benefits of bees then it's probably a good thing.

I saw something on TV a couple of days ago about training sniffer bees.  They are much quicker to train than dogs but can only work for a couple of days before they need to return to the hive.
