Observation
Great site on human-honeyguide mutualism: Honeyguides know where bees’ nests are located and like to eat beeswax.
Humans know how to subdue bees using fire, and open the nest using axes.
By working together, the two species locate the bees, overcome the bees’ defenses and gain access to the nest.
