The largest animal on Earth, elephants are scared of the tiniest insects that are honey bees. Yes, you could enjoy a good laugh! Studies have revealed that elephants tend to run away within 80 seconds of hearing a honey bee sound.
Though, a bee cannot obviously penetrate an elephant’s thick skin but the sharp ‘sting of a bee’ is painful. Many research studies have found out that elephants were known to break open wild beehives as they probed through Acacia trees in South African nations. The result, the furious bees would then attack the sensitive parts of an elephant including its trunk, eyes and mouth.
Since its sting hurts a lot therefore, elephants would avoid wild beehives at any cost. Environmentalists and scholars decided to use honey bees as a protection cover against elephants. This solution was earlier used in South Africa, where human beings and elephants are known to live in close proximity to each other.Click Here: Aston Villa Shop
