December 6th, 2015: To BEE or Not To Bee
You know Elephants aren't really scared of mice, that's bullshit folklore, but do you know what they are scared of... Bees.
What? Big old Elephants with inch thick hide? I'm sure you know what a bee sting feels like, how do you think it would feel inside your nose? Think of the Elephant's nose. Now subsistence farming is a tough life, just getting by in good years and people starve in bad. If a pack of Pachyderms raids your field at night, people you love will starve. The second thing about these farmers is they're broke. As in no money to build fences to discourage the Hungry Heffalumps, and if they do manage to build a fence of sorts, once the crop consumers get in, it's harder to chase them out. Bottom line, Elephants or people die... too often both. Save The Elephants has a plan... the Bee Fence Quote:
It's not all honey and roses though, it takes time for bees to move into these hives, even when they have premade combs, and all kinds of other insects and critters will try to move in first. When the hives get full of honey they sag due to makeshift materials which makes them vulnerable to Honey Badgers among other things. The fence doesn't work as well at higher altitudes because the bees that live there are much slower to anger. Plus they bees have to be given food and fresh water so they won't move out during the dry season. But saving lives is worth it, Elephants and Humans.
