Wild Elephants Kill Villager in Mondolkiri Protected Area
Re: Wild Elephants Kill Villager in Mondolkiri Protected Area
There is a major study/project in Kenya to minimize crop raiding and human-elephant conflicts by using bee hives as a deterrent for the elephants. The bee hives are strung up between fence posts. They seem to think it works. But in Cambodia so few elephants to scare away.

There are so few elephants, but even fewer bee hives. Maybe they could use drones, (ie. the mechanical flying machines), that sound like bees, to scare the elephants away from crops and habitations ?cambo swa wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 8:35 pm There is a major study/project in Kenya to minimize crop raiding and human-elephant conflicts by using bee hives as a deterrent for the elephants.

Funny how elephants are reputed to be afraid of small animals like mice, or insects like bees. Is this true, or urban legend ?
