The Honeyguide’s Sweet Secret

Nature’s Treasure Hunt

2.jpg

The greater honeyguide is a clever bird with a special talent—it leads humans straight to hidden beehives! When it spots someone in the forest, the honeyguide calls out, using a distinctive chattering call, flying from tree to tree, guiding them like a feathery treasure map. 


Once the person reaches the hive, they use smoke to calm the bees and harvest the honey, while the bird feasts on the bee larvae and wax left behind. It’s a perfect partnership—humans get the honey, and the honeyguide gets its meal. This natural teamwork has been happening for centuries, making the honeyguide the ultimate guide to nature’s sweetest treasure!
