Question

Honey(蜂蜜）from African(非洲）forest is very delicious.

Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest(蜂巢）and take honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. But in parts of Africa, people and animals have a strange helper — a little bird called a honey helper.

In fact, the honey helper does not like honey, but it likes the wax(蜂蠟）in the nest. The little bird cannot reach the wax because it is inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a nest, it looks for someone to help. The little bird sings loudly to get the attention(注意） of both passing animals and people. When it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting for the following animal or person that loves honey. Then it helps them find the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower tries to get the delicious honey and the bird waits and watches. Some of the honey and the wax always fall to the ground, and this is when the bird takes its share.

Scientists do not know why the bird likes eating the wax, but they seem to be able to smell the wax far away.
