    Resolving the Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) necessitates a multi-pronged approach. This strategy must simultaneously address challenges related to elephant conservation, secure food and resource requirements for both humans and wildlife, and provide effective protection for human life and property.

    The protective element of this strategy often involves multi-layered solutions such as electric fences, live barriers, and bee fences. Although bee fences are widely celebrated as an eco-friendly deterrent, their effectiveness has unfortunately produced contradictory results within the Sri Lankan context.

    Nevertheless, a recent pilot research project conducted in Gonoruwa, Hambantota, Sri Lanka has shown significant promise. This project was conducted by the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Science at the University of Ruhuna, in collaboration with the Southern Province Industrial Development Authority. The research successfully introduced a beekeeping fence as one layer within a multi-pronged strategy, specifically aimed at minimizing crop damage caused by wild elephants.
