Honey Fences

Given that relationship, it's doubtless some species of trees intentionally play hosts to hives as a means to protect themselves from being harvest.

Reminds me of a tree that grows homes for ants.

oh wait. That was the Acacia tree as well!

I wondered whether elephants might actually be beneficial to acacias, by maybe spreading seeds or something (I'm not very familiar with the plant).

On the contrary, it seems elephants' relationship with the acacia is sort of mixed: http://www.primitivism.com/elephant-acacia.htm

I love how interesting things like this lead me to discover even more interesting tidbits. Praise be the Internet.

It took me a while to realize this isn't about intrusion detection.

All is fun and honey until bears arrive by thousands and someone gets poked in the eye.

Now seriously... seems a good idea. I wonder if elephants will learn to visite the place at night and avoid touching the beehives.
