Tanzania's Serengeti National Park moves to prevent elephants from raiding farms

DAR ES SALAAM, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- The Serengeti National Park (SENAPA) in Tanzania has donated 300 honey beehives to community cooperatives in three villages in the Simiyu region that will help to deter elephants from invading farms and destroying crops, an official said Friday.

Constructed beehives on fence posts could reduce elephant raids, said Joseph Mpangala, SENAPA senior conservation officer for communications at a news conference in the Simiyu region.
