In line with a 2016 research within the journal Science from the University of Cambridge, honeyguides are instrumental in helping human bee hunters find a colony round 75 % of the time. In change, the honeyguides get to choose pupae and larvae out of the honeycomb, nibble on some wax, and hopefully the human partner will leave them a waxy present to munch on once they leave. It could be rude to not.
