Elephants and bees
Novelty beeswax candle
An elephant’s size is equal to its appetite, which can drive them to raid crops grown by subsistence farmers.
Elephants are known to be wary of bees nests and to avoid trees with beehives. Although elephant skin is 2.5 cm thick, they can still be stung in areas around their eyes and inside their trunks, which can be extremely painful.
Electric fences aren’t feasible in many areas due to lack of electricity, and other types of fences are ineffective. However, researchers may have found a simple solution — bee hives.

Some see selling honey as exploitation — we see it as a partnership.
We practise ethical beekeeping that supports wild pollinators, strengthens local ecosystems, and helps protect bee populations threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. In our hives, the bees always come first: queens’ wings are never clipped, swarming is allowed, and the bees keep the vast majority of their honey. The small surplus we harvest funds their care and conservation, helping us maintain healthy, thriving colonies that pollinate the plants we all depend on.
Our apiaries are limited to a maximum of four colonies per well-stocked acre to avoid competition with wild pollinators. At our Steart site, we’ve reduced this to just two colonies due to local ecological pressures.
We’re committed to raising awareness of the challenges facing wild pollinators — from habitat loss and the decline of wildflower meadows to the scarcity of safe, chemical-free forage. We plant for all pollinators and leave parts of our garden to grow wild, and we encourage you to do the same.
Can I visit Cox’s Farm?
We don’t have a physical shop you can visit. All our honey and products are available online, so you can enjoy them delivered straight to your door.
Is honey safe to consume during pregnancy?
Raw honey – it’s ok for you to eat honey, but you should NOT give it to your baby until they’re over a year old.
