Elephants’ Fear Of Bees Is Helping Farmers And Saving Their Lives

Wild elephants are nomadic animals and migrate far distances. In places like Kenya, their natural behavior unfortunately puts them into conflict with farmers. That’s because they raid crops, damaging and destroying a farmer’s livelihood.

Scientists began looking for a solution to avoid the conflicts that are endangering both humans and elephants. What they came up with is an amazing solution that takes into account elephant behavior and something straight from their natural surroundings…African honey bees!
