If you are having a problem with elephants trampling your garden, why not try a bee rumble alarm? Keep them away from your prized rhododendron patch with trip-wires that set off a recording of the unique sound elephants make when there are bees about.

Discovered by crack pachydermists from the esteemed University of Oxford in the early 2010's, these clever boffins used similar techniques to your favoured karaoke machine to isolate the sound elephants make when warning other elephants they have been attacked by bees, sending the herd running for climes without these swarms.

No word from mellitologists on manipulating this sound to warn bees of approaching elephants.
