Elephants are scared around bees
My son befriended one of the leading African elephant researchers who is now one of the big wigs at Disney's Animal Kingdom.  When we met him, he explained how researchers used this knowledge to teach African villages how to become beekeepers.  Elephants would often trample their crops or other areas of the village, so they taught them how to keep bees around the perimeter of the village.  The elephants stay away and the villagers are able to use the honey, etc. as a trade.  The net result was fewer elephants were being killed and the villagers gained a new skill.
