Increasing habitat fragmentation and human population growth in Africa has resulted in an escalation in human-elephant conflict between small-scale farmers and free-ranging African elephants (Loxodonta Africana). This article tested the efficacy of a beehive fence design to keep elephants away from invading small-scale farms, as part of the 10-year Conservation and Management Strategy for the Elephant in Kenya implemented by the Wildlife Service (KWS) in 2012.
