Establishment of beehive fence for crop protection

Establishment of beehive fence for crop protection

As a result of living close to national park, farmers experience challenge of losing their crops from elephants. When elephants move from one park to another, they pass through farms and eat crops, something that affect income and food security of the community.

ECOWICE is working with the Village natural resource committee and farmers group to establish a beehive fence that will protect their crops from elephant.

Elephants don't like bees because they sting on their soft parts of skin like trunk and eyes.

The project aims to support more than 100 farmers whom their farms are threatened by elephants.
