Kenya's Innovative Bee Project Shields Elephants Using beehives to deter elephants helps reduce conflicts and supports local farming communitiesThe harmony between wildlife and humans has always been delicate, especially when it involves majestic creatures like elephants. While adored by tourists for their grandeur, elephants often clash with local farmers, leading to tragic confrontations. Enter the innovative project conceived by the charity Save the Elephants, which proposes not just any solution, but one rooted in nature itself: the use of African honeybees. By using bees, the project improves crop yields and enhances the health of the environment. While the road to reconciliation between elephants and the local population remains navigable, everyone involved is learning how to coexist without fear and with mutual respect.
