HELP KACF FUND THE PURCHASE OF BEEHIVES

​

Elephant incursion into homesteads and crops is a big problem.  In one raid, a single elephant can eat or destroy the livelihood of an entire family.  But, there is a natural remedy to this.  Elephants are afraid of bees because they can sting the soft tissue around their eyes, ears and trunk.  If we string beehives around a crop or homestead, this serves as a natural barrier to the elephants while creating a sustainable honey product that a family can sell at market.  It's a win-win situation.

 

Twelve one-pint jars of honey were donated by a local honey producer, Dave Swanson, from Brighton, Colorado for us to sell as a fundraiser for beehives.  Each $25 jar of honey or monetary donation provides funding for half of one beehive.

Saving wildlife is a sweet solution!
