In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not act
20、ually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach beeswax, which is deep inside the bees nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and peo
21、ple. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animals or people as it leads them to the nest.
