Moses learned that elephants are afraid of bees
(Yes, bees not mice as you've been told)
Where humans and elephants live in close proximity conflict happens
Elephants invade farmers' fields
Farmers kill or injure the elephants
Moses started putting up beehive fences
And it worked!
The elephants are staying away from the farmers' fields
The ONLY PROBLEM...
Now more farmers are asking for beehive fences!
Many more beehives are needed.
$109.50 covers everything to install one beehive.
The wood and materials needed to construct the hive, the transportation costs from the lumber yard, to the construction site and then to the field. Plus the poles and wire needed to install the beehives. It also pays the labor costs for construction and installation.
Sponsoring a beehive is easy...
