Elephants Aren't Scared of Bees

Kenyan folklore says that elephants won't go near trees with beehives in them. So author of a PhD study decided to test this theory by throwing a stone at an occupied hive. Stone didn't hit the elephants on the way down it kind of zinged off into the bush but the hive got knocked by the stone and erupted. The bees weren't doing anything so the bees didn't need to sting the elephant, he said.
