TED Talk Tuesday #156 – the one about elephants and bees

“I wish someone had told me” is a series of posts that feed into our inquisitive nature at CN&CO. Each week we hear from someone in our network about something interesting or surprising that’s recently happened or occurred to them – or lessons they learnt. These blogs are a way to pay it forward and form part of CN&CO’s belief that the world can be a better place – and we all have a responsibility to make it so. This week’s post is by our admin goddess, Penny Hickinbotham.

I love nature and all the interesting things we can learn from animals. That’s why this TED Talk really sunk in for me. It tells the story of a scientist who uses bees to help manage the relationship between humans and elephants in rural areas of our continent.
