Bees Will Make Honey as Well as Protect Elephants

Its honey harvesting season in Ngare Mara and we are delighted to report that so far the farmers with beehive fences have collected 106 kgs of honey from the hives. This is much more than I expected but it shows what a good rainy season we have just had. The bees are in approximately 45% of the hives at the moment which is good and with so many flowers around the honey is pouring out. We have designed some new labels for our honey which we have coined “Elephant-Friendly Honey” and we hope to raise some more awareness of the project through this enterprise.
We have been donated some old jars and pots from my friends in Nairobi which are now adding value to the cost of the honey when the farmers go to sell in Isiolo so they are delighted with the gift. So far our record hive has given 15 kgs of honey from one hive which was occupied for 6 months before it was harvested.

Disney Funds Elephants and Bees Project
from Save the Elephants
http://www.elephantsandbees.com/Lucy_King/Research_Events/Research_Events.html
I am delighted to report that Disney’s Worldwide Conservation Fund has once again selected our Elephants and Bees project for an annual grant. This highlights the fantastic relationship Save the Elephants has with Disney and her staff both at the DWCF and at the Animal Programs Department in Florida. Thank you so much for your continued support and belief in our project.
With this grant we plan to put two tracking collars on two crop-raiding female elephants that we suspect are responsible for some of the crop-raiding in Ngare Mara. We hope the GPS tracks will help us understand how elephants are maneuvering around the beehive fences. Additionally I plan to write a Beehive Fence Construction Manual which will be freely available on line for other farmers or wildlife managers who would like to try out the beehive fence technology. An exciting year ahead!
{Sydney: The hives also produce honey which provides income for low income families. This is a perfect example of the One Health Concept that Sydney's Thumb will be supporting with Artists for Oceans and Animals}

Mawmenzi's Death Baffles Vets at Sheldrick Trust
Will Be Sorely Missed
What ailed Mawenzi defeated all the Vets as well as ourselves. She never suffered from diarrhoea to indicate digestive problems; no fluid was exuded from the trunk to indicate the dreaded pneumonia which has taken so many of our infant elephants over the years.
She was treated 3 times for stomach parasites, underwent oral antibiotic courses when her stools became a little too soft or too frequent, or showed signs of mucous, and also underwent repeated injectible antibiotic courses of both Nuroclav and Enrofloxacine. Periodic blood tests revealed a high white cell count which indicated some sort of infection – but where and what remained a mystery until after her death.


An autopsy on the body of this little elephant was a “must”, for in this way we learn, and with every new orphaned elephant there are lessons to be learnt – even after having handled newborn elephants for over 50 years, as has Daphne Sheldrick. One never ever knows it all. The autopsy revealed two things – necrotic tissue in the small intestine, which would have inhibited the absorption of nutrients and, over and above that, a massive build up of fluid around the heart to indicate a serious heart malfunction.
What infection insensitive to three different antibiotics could have destroyed the small intestine is yet to be known. Hopefully further tests on sample tissue will be able to reveal more. However, the heart problem was probably a genetic defect with which she was most probably born. After the sudden death of orphan Nchan from a burst duodenal ulcer (which we never even had cause to suspect), we treated Mawenzi homeopathically for ulcers, just in case this could have been the cause of her illness, but with no improvement.

Elephant Rescued at Boon Lott
28 August 2010
from Kathereine's Journal:
BLES supporters, you incredible people have done it again. You have saved Pang Dow — Miss Star is coming home to BLES!
What can I say? Once again BLES supporters from all around the world have united and moved mountains for the elephants. This particular elephant has suffered and endured more abuse than any other I have come across. She has known nothing but agony and aggression. But that is all about to change thanks to your kindness and unstoppable drive to save her.
Your total and absolute faith in BLES is what has saved Pang Dow. We cannot do any of this without you and the numerous ways you support us. I want to shout from the roof tops over and over again ‘THANK YOU!!!’.
I voiced Pang Dow’s story exactly one week ago. In the seven days that followed, I lost power and was without electricity for four days. In my absence, a number of people came together and drove the campaign, but one person in particular refused to let anything get in the way of Pang Dow’s safety. Evelyn Connor, my mum, went above and beyond the call of duty and I wouldn’t be sharing this outstanding news if it wasn’t for my mum’s dedication and pure love. Thank you mum.
There are many people who did everything they could to ensure Pang Dow was not sold into the hands of the business man, who intended to use her for forced breeding. You know who you are and I hope you know how endlessly thankful I am for your help. Your efforts are not unnoticed.
Once the funds have arrived in our Thai account, we will be off to save the life of Pang Dow. She will join our 12 other elephants and will never have to live another day in fear. She will learn how to be an elephant again and will come to realize that not all humans are bad. We will love her and show her she is safe.
Be proud. You have done something amazing today.
Katherine xx
21 August 2010 Faithful friends,
Let me introduce you to Pang Dow (Miss Star)….
This young elephant has already endured years of relentless abuse. The multitude of scars covering her body reveal only a whisper of the horror she has suffered.
As a baby, Pang Dow was forced to walk the city streets of Thailand, reduced to begging for a living. Once she got ‘too big’ for life on the streets, her heartless owners put her to work in a busy tourist camp where she was made to carry tourists around in a heavy chair that was strapped to her back for hours on end everyday. Recently, tourists have been refusing to ride Pang Dow. Furious, her owners withdrew her from the camp and condemned her to hauling piles of extremely heavy logs in the forest. This is all heartbreaking, Im sure you will agree. The thing that makes Pang Dow’s story particularly disturbing is the fact she is disabled.
Born with a heavily deformed front leg, Pang Dow has learnt to walk using the outside of her wrist as a foot. Her shoulder is permanently swollen, her back is weak and is at serious risk of breaking if she continues with such demanding physical labour.
There is another sad twist to Pang Dow’s sad story…
There is a man who wants to buy Pang Dow and use her for ‘breeding purposes’. He talked openly about his plans to shackle her front feet together while both her back legs are chained and pulled as far a part as they physically can be. He smiled when he described the bulls he would have repeatedly mount her, against her will. His intent? To make Pang Dow pregnant, snatch the calf and sell it on to camp managers who will pay a lucrative amount for such a treasure. Then, Pang Dow will be shacked, chained down and forced bred again. This forced breeding (akin to rape) cycle will continue until her back breaks or she dies. To be honest, I don’t think her potential owner cares either way.
You have a chance to change Pang Dow’s fate. Her future is lying in your hands — she has done nothing but obey every command shouted at her and submit to every demand made of her. Let’s give her back her freedom and allow her to rest in the arms of BLES.
Pang Dow’s current mahout is violent and drinks heavily. The day BLES went to investigate, he beat Pang Dow incessantly to make her walk faster. He stunk of alcohol and even had the audacity to drink whiskey while he was riding Pang Dow.
For this poor elephant it seems the cruelty is endless. But you and I know that is not true. We are going to come together as we have done in the past and pull this girl out of her hell.
We are going to share her plight with thousands and raise the funds to save her once and for all. We need to raise a total of 500 000 baht to end the nightmare for Pang Dow and bring her home to BLES. I know we can do this.
No elephant should have to work to fuel man’s greed… SAVE PANG DOW TODAY!
Donations should be made directly through our website and not via any other group/organization claiming they are in affiliation with BLES.
Heartfelt thanks for your unconditional support and unshakable faith in BLES,
Katherine

Report from Hohenwald Sanctuary:
Thunder showers came this past week—finally!
July 19, 2010
The rain brought a lovely reprieve to elephants and caregivers alike. None of the Divas seemed that inclined to play but rather spent time just BEING in the rain. When it begins to rain, and the water runs down the girls' backs and faces, it appears to this caregiver as if the elephants have suddenly donned cowls and capes. They could not be better attired if attending a costume party and all going as Batman. As the rain continues, however, the look of capes vanish and the cowl shapes meld together. Soon the Girls are simply a very dark, wet gray color of their own unique shapes, unadorned.
After a couple of dry, dusty weeks in the Asian habitat, the rains meant lots of mud. Dulary and Misty wore their usual 4-inch thick coating of mud, with Dulary's being mostly on the top of her head forming multi-sized mini towers. Misty's coating covered the side of her body where she had been napping, with an extra-thick layer on the side of her face. Shirley was clean during the day, but for two consecutive nights at the 10:00 p.m. feed, she was coated in mud. While Tarra was contentedly grazing in Right Field, Shirley was lying down, with every inch of her body coated in mud. Ten feet away from her lay one of the big mud holes, showing all sorts of feet and body prints throughout. It seems nothing sets off a good nap like coating yourself in mud. However, by morning feed, Shirley would look perfectly clean again, as if she had never touched the earthy slush.

Tarra enjoyed the rain, too

Latest Heart-Warming Video on Tarra and Bella
http://www.elephants.com/elediary.php
From Hohenwald
July 14, 2010
It's been well over a year since Tarra and Bella became celebrities, thanks to their "Odd Couple" story broadcast by CBS News, which is still making the rounds on YouTube. The Sanctuary continues to get inquiries and emails from people around the world, asking if Tarra and Bella are still together and how they are doing. The answer is right here in video, with new footage recorded just this past week. They are both doing great!Last edited on Tue Jul 20th, 2010 05:53 pm by sydneyst

A Good Day to Nap in the Dirt
from the elephant sanctuary in Hohenwald

June 28, 2010
Misty and Dulary have access to an area where more work was done on one of the roads as part of our "habitat clean-up." In the process of fixing the road, a large dirt mound was deposited, and it seems Misty thinks it is a wonderful place to nap. The first morning it was there, just after breakfast, Misty was found lying on top of the dirt mound. Her back-end was on the higher peak of the mound and her head was lower at ground level. Although from the outside perspective, her position did not look that comfortable, she continued to nap and that spot became her spot of choice. Misty napped there off and on for the next two days, though most often with her hips lower and her head on the rise of the dirt pillow. The newly unearthed cool dirt may have been what attracted her to the spot as she took advantage of the temporary cooling place before it completely warmed in the sun.

Misty

Beloved Baby Elephant Dies at Boon Lott
Katherine Reports:
25 May 2010
If you look up into the sky tonight, you will see one star shining brighter than the others… That is because our precious darling, Little Star, is no longer walking through the forests beside her mother and friends here at BLES. Our Little Star has become a shining star and will be smiling down on us forever more.
This is the hardest thing to share with you.
There was a heavy rain storm. Star was in the forest and instead of taking shelter under her mother’s belly, she was dancing in the rain, rolling in the mud, and loving her life. The storm turned its attention to Star and sent a flash of lightning down to strike her. The shock was too much for her little round body. She died instantly.
All of us at BLES are shocked and completely devastated. I know so many of you will be crushed to learn of her untimely death and that is why I have set up a Facebook page in her memory. If you have any stories, photos, videos, or thoughts to share, please feel welcome to share them here. In Memory of Little Star
Star was everything a baby elephant should be. She was naughty, mischievous, boisterous, energetic, and wild. She had never known abuse, pain, fear, or loneliness. She was born at the Sanctuary on 18th September 2007 and had lived every single day beside her mother. Star found a big sister in Lom and in the last few months of her life, found a guardian in Pang Suai.
There is no doubt Star’s death will leave a silent ache among us all, elephant and human alike. No longer will we hear the tinkling of her bell or laugh out loud at her antics in the pond.
In the two years and eight months of her life, Star brought us endless joy. She melted our hearts and had the ability to make us fall in love with her day after day after day…
Most of you are aware of our need and hope to create a medical clinic here at BLES to offer free care to elephants in need throughout Thailand. When the clinic is complete, it will be named after our baby and opened in everlasting loving memory of Little Star.
Friends, thank you for your continued, unconditional support. I know you will be hurt by what has happened and I am sorry to have been the one to deal the blow. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Baker and The Elephant Family who originally put up the funds for the rescue of Star’s mother, Pang Noi.
Star, thank you for all you gave us. Thank you for your innocent charm, playful energy, and sparkling spirit. May you now and forever rest in peace, my darling little girl.

Sissy & Winkie look forward to their water wagon visits.
At the New Asian Barn, we have a water trailer to make sure our girls remain hydrated. There are several natural water sources in the habitat (ponds, creeks, and the lake), plus watering stations that have been set up (with more to be installed--see Wish Blitz below), but sometimes the Girls still need a little extra. Since they don’t migrate in search of food and water as much as wild elephants, we sometimes bring the water to them. These deliveries also let the Ladies know that wherever they choose to wander, we will come and find them, not only with their food, but also with a cool drink. This knowledge allows them to securely wander away from the barn knowing there is no need for them to return if they would rather enjoy what the habitat has to offer.
All of our Ladies get visits from the water trailer, but none as much as Sis and Winks. Although Sissy has gotten much better in perfecting the art of getting water from her trunk into her mouth, with the hot Tennessee summers, we want to ensure that she is getting enough. And since Sissy and Winkie are always together, Winkie also enjoys a nice drink. That is, when she’s not just picking hay off of the back of the four wheeler instead.
Visit the ele-diary for more about our water wagon and a new video of Sissy and Winkie!

The Good Life at the Elephant Sanctuary
Hohenwald, Tnn.
May 17, 2010
Life has pretty much returned to normal around here in DivaLand after the flooding. Construction vehicles went back and forth, filling in crevices in our main road and removing debris. Billie, surprisingly, was not bothered by the huge machines going about their noisy business. She kept an eye on them, but never seemed to get too distressed about it. This is a wonderful step forward for our "sometimes-nervous" Billie.

Billie and Frieda
The receding water left lots of downed trees in the habitat. Minnie has wasted no time inspecting all of it and looking for the best pieces to swing around. Lottie and Ronnie were gathering bunches of uprooted plants the other day, piling them high on their backs. It almost seemed as if they were having a contest to see whose pile could be higher. Some of Ronnie's fell off as she walked, and she stopped to retrieve them. Those weeds must have been really important to her!
It was a nice quiet week at the Asian barn. Tarra and Shirley spent most of their week at the lake, alternating between Right and Left Field. One of the mornings, Shirley decided to hike up the hill back to North Road, and by late feed Tarra had joined her. However, the next day, they had both returned to the lake.
It is truly a wonderful spot for any of the girls; there are two fields with mostly similar foliage, yet still some different variety. One field has wild mint and passion fruits, the other field has more blackberries and smaller trees. There are woods lining the back area of both fields, which means plenty of shade when the girls want it. There are also mud wallows in each. The wallow in Right Field is a nice orange churt, which looks lovely on the girls after their bathing in it. The other one in Left Field is dark black soft squishy mud.
Of course there is water for swimming, bathing, or drinking. When that water is not pristine enough to entice a drink, it is a very short walk to the creek for some crystal clear cool running water. After the storms, there is an added sand bar for dusting.
Sis and Winks have been wandering in both directions, towards the lake, and heading north, spending their nights outside. They spent a couple of days grazing in a meadow they had never ventured into before, though it is not far from a spot they frequent during the summer months. Winkie has been very light; she is talking and engaging on almost every caregiver visit into the habitat. Dulary and Misty are enjoying their daily routines of dusting, swimming, and sleeping mixed in with a little wandering when they so choose.Last edited on Thu May 20th, 2010 06:08 pm by sydneyst

Bee Project Originated with Discovery in 2002 of Effect on Elephants
Acacias Were Protected by Hives

http://www.elephantsandbees.com/Lucy_King/Project_Info.html
by Lucy King
Growing up in Africa I developed a deep interest in the conservation of both wildlife species and the preservation of natural habitats. Even in my lifetime, I have witnessed the human population in Africa escalate beyond anyone’s predictions. This expansion is encroaching dramatically into traditionally wildlife rich areas forcing large animals like elephants, lions, buffaloes and leopards into smaller and smaller spaces. Six ton elephants have a huge requirement for food and water and naturally migrate in search of sustenance.
Their travels bring them directly into conflict with people as new villages, roads, schools, fences, bridges and farms are built over natural wildlife corridors. This human-elephant conflict is becoming particularly serious in Kenya as people are now killing, spearing or poisoning elephants that come onto their land to eat their crops.
Researchers like myself are now trying to help local governments to both search for solutions to this dilemma and help farmers and families who have lost entire harvests to invading elephants, often suffering stress, damage and sometimes even death.
I work with ‘Save the Elephants’, a research team headed by the elephant expert Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton (OBE). In collaboration with Kenyan Wildlife Service, we are investigating crop-protection methods that can be financed and managed by the farmers themselves to provide long term solutions to human-elephant conflict.
The use of chilli peppers, either as disincentive crop or as a deterrent spray has been pioneered by Osborn in Zimbabwe with promising, albeit limited, success. African bees may be an equally effective alternative to chilli powder while additionally providing economic long-term benefits. Work by Save the Elephants in 2002 investigated elephant damage on acacia trees hosting empty or occupied beehives and demonstrated that trees with hives receive some protection, especially if they were occupied by bees. Anyone who has seen the destruction of trees by elephants in Kenya will appreciate the importance and implications of this study.
Honey is already harvested in some (but not all) parts of our study site as a low-maintenance/high income crop. The possibility of turning this economically beneficial activity into a crop-raiding deterrent is a highly attractive proposition which complements the emerging strategy of developing farmer-based approaches to self-protection against elephant raids. If verified, this could lead to a countrywide wildlife management strategy to reduce human-elephant conflict in Kenya.
My project explores the use of bee populations in simple wooden beehives as an elephant deterrent and as a social and economic boost to poverty-stricken rural communities through the sustainable harvesting of honey. I’m leading this innovative project as part of my DPhil (PhD) research from Oxford University although I’m based in the Save the Elephants’ research camp in Samburu Game Reserve. My earlier research shows that elephants react to bee sounds with obvious alarm and retreating behaviour (see Publications). I am now working closely with Disney’s Bioacoustic Team in Florida to investigate this behaviour further and together we have discovered that elephants emit an alarm call when confronted by bees. Although my behavioural work continues, I am also looking at the use of live bees as protection around rural farmers fields.
I am supervised by Professor Fritz Vollrath, Dr Anna Lawrence and Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton.

Can Bees Control Elephants?
http://www.elephantsandbees.com/Lucy_King/Welcome.html

The Elephants and Bees Research Project is one of Save the Elephants’ newest innovative programs designed to explore the natural world for solutions to human-elephant conflict. Led by DPhil researcher Lucy King from the Department of Zoology at Oxford University, the project uses in-depth knowledge and observation of elephant behaviour to reduce damage from crop-raiding elephants using African honeybees.
see the video on use of bees to control elephants:
http://www.elephantsandbees.com/Lucy_King/Media_%26_Publications.html
Movie S2. (MOV 4699 kb)
This one-minute movie clip illustrates the Rivers family responding to the playback of African bee sounds (Apis mellifera scutellata). A full recording consisted of filming the behaviour of the elephant family two minutes before any sound was played, four minutes during the sound being played and 2 minutes after the sound was stopped. This video clip of the Rivers shows 15 second of typical family behaviour before the bee sound was turned on and 40 seconds of their immediate reaction and consequent rapid retreat. The Rivers took 18 seconds from the onset of the sound to the moment when the family started to move away. In 16 of the 17 family groups to which bee sounds were played, the families left the study site before the end of the 4-minute playback of bee sounds.
