In some parts of Africa as in Liberia, elephants threaten farmland and are not well liked by farmers. In order to protect their crop, they now use a so-called Buzz Box that produces the sound of many bees and keeps the elephants away, since elephants avoid bees. This way the elephants and the farmland can be protected.
