SUMMARY:Science Speaker: Bees and Elephants- Conservation of the largest la
 nd animal using very small neighbors! Dr. Jody Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Bees and Elephants- Conservation of the largest land animal usi
 ng very small neighbors! with Dr. Jody Johnson\nSunday\, August 9\, 2026\n
 Cost: Free for Members or with Admission\nAdmission Tickets\n\nElephants a
 re a keystone species in Tanzania\, but they are under serious threat from
  poaching and from raiding agricultural fields during migration. Bee hive 
 "fences" have been used to mitigate the agriculturally-based human-elephan
 t conflicts\, but we are trying to implement a new idea of pollinated food
  corridors to allow wildlife to survive and migrate adjacent to agricultur
 al lands.\n\n \n\nAbout Jody Johnson\nDr. Josephine (Jody) Johnson has a P
 hD in toxicology and has spent her research career on bees at the US Depar
 tment of Agriculture on parasites\, pesticide effects\, nutritional studie
 s\, and electrostatic interactions between bees and flowers. In the last f
 ive years\, she has been and continues to be engaged in a project in Tanza
 nia in which honey bee hives are installed to deter migrating African elep
 hants from raiding village croplands\, thereby avoiding deadly human-eleph
 ant conflicts. Recently retired from teaching college classes in environme
 ntal science\, chemistry\, physical science\, world pollinators\, and sust
 ainability\, she has spoken at conferences nationally and internationally\
 , and currently maintains a personal apiary of 21 hives.
