A Friendly Defence.

Most of us hate cruelty towards animals and I hate to see the animal population going down. But now, there's a spark of hope in the elephant world! It's a new innovative solution to the problem of the destructive elephans in Kenya!

While the revival of the elephants in Kenya has been a huge sucess or conservationists, it has come to the expense of farmers and villages who live near the sometimes dangerous pachyderms. Some clever thinking may end up saving everyone some grief. Elephants, like humans, are afraid of bees. Farmers and villagers experiemented with fences made of bee hives - instead of the traditionl thorn fences - and found them to be much more effective. As an added bonus, Kenyen farmers may now benefit from selling honey.
