New Scientific finding about elephants!
Thu, 2010-07-08 05:47 by SexyexyBatyah
Miss Moss, a few weeks ago, it was proven that elephants are afraid of bees!Will the Government/parks use them to secure the elephants in park boundries?Or use bees to keep elephants out of villagers homes/farms?It could have an added bonus of stinging poarchers too!( As well as make a wonderful food product for locals/or fundraising for the parks...) Is anyone looking into this new revelation that may save both elephants and property?! Thank you Mam...

Hi, Lisa, I guess you're referring to the work of our friend and colleague, Lucy King of Save The Elephants (see the press release at http://www.savetheelephants.org/diary-reader/items/save-the-elephants-pr...), about the flight response of eles to bees, including a rumble that seems to mean "Watch out, there are bees about!". In fact, we have known about bees as elephant deterrents for some while. We helped STE with a project to put traditional Samburu beehives in Acacia tortilis trees to keep the elephants from bashing the trees. And Winnie Kiiru, one of our doctoral students, was helping farmers in the Oloitokitok area of Amboseli add bees to their arsenal of elephant repellants. Never thought of bees as a park management tool. Good idea. Maybe you should write to the Kenya Wildlife Service and suggest it. Thanks for the idea and your interest.
Thanks

Sooo good to hear from you. I was beginning to think something was wrong there. Was going to write today to ask if all was well.
Thank you for the acticles and the pix. You are looking great, as usual. Hope the fundraising was very sucessful.
