Around the world, spreading farmland is increasingly overlapping with elephant habitats, often resulting in dangerous interactions as elephants roam over people's crops. But in Kenya, after decades of investigation, researchers have come up with a simple but ingenious solution to deter elephants: strings of beehive fences.
Inspired by longtime local knowledge of elephants' dislike of beehives, these buzzing barriers are offering a gentle but effective way of de-escalating the sometimes-violent interactions between farmers and elephants. And they are now spreading across the world, from Mozambique to Thailand.

在全球范围内,耕地的扩张正与大象栖息地越来越交错重叠。大象在人类的农田中游荡,常常引发危险的人-象冲突。但在肯尼亚,经过几十年的调查研究,研究人员想出了一个简单而巧妙的解决方案来驱赶大象:用蜂巢围栏组成屏障。
这一创意源于当地关于"大象惧怕蜂巢的传统知识。这些带有嗡嗡蜂鸣的围栏以温和而有效的方式,缓和了农民与大象之间时而爆发的暴力冲突。目前蜂巢围栏已从莫桑比克到泰国等国家推广至全球多地。
