Although the elephant hide is very thick, bees can deliver significant pain by attacking vulnerable areas such as ears, eyes, and trunks.
An electric fence is a barrier that uses electric shocks to deter people and other animals [note 1] from crossing a boundary.

Nofence is a Norwegian company that makes GPS collars for farm animals (cattle, sheep, and goats) that discourage them from crossing virtual fences.
