#Elephacts time: Elephants are scared of bees! both Asian AND African, although the African elephants react more strongly. The Elephants and Bees Project uses hives to work as a deterrent, like a fence, keeping our pachyderm pals out of areas where they'd get into trouble.

we're getting closer and closer to the day where I'm not immediately suspicious of an animal fact you share, and I love that for us <3

my first thought reading “both Asian and African” was “Asian and African bees? cool” and the next sentence hit me in the head full force. this is a very cool fact though thanks for sharing.

Heard tell that conservationists are strategically using beehives to help protect farmers crops! Eyes Ears & their sensitive trunks are at risk for sure & steering them clear w actively buzzing bee hives might just work for farmers & crops from foraging tuskers! WinWin!

oh they just like me fr
