Resumen
Descripción
The beehive fence is a simple yet innovative barrier where hives are suspended at regular intervals along a connecting wire or cable. When an elephant attempts to enter the protected area, it unintentionally disturbs the cable, causing the hives to sway. This movement agitates the bees, prompting them to buzz loudly and potentially sting. Elephants, known for their strong aversion to bees, are deterred by the sound and the threat of stings. This effectively keeps them away from the fields.
