Beehive Fences in Africa
An elephant has pretty thick skin though why are they so afraid of bees? Yeah it is extraordinary. They have very thick skins as it can be over two centimeters thick on many parts of their body but they also have a lot of thin very vulnerable skin and that is around the watery areas. We've seen elephants that have been stung and sure enough their eyes do swell up so they probably will never forget that sound and then the pain of it afterwards. This led me to invent a novel design for a beehive fence which we are now building around small one to two acre farms where humans and elephants are competing for space.
