Project RE-HAB, which uses honey bee boxes as fences to keep elephants away, has successfully helped reduce conflicts between humans and the animal without causing any harm, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) said on Saturday.
Announcing the success of the project launched on March 15, the KVIC added that it will be replicated in states reporting elephant attacks on human habitation.
