Honeyguide don´t give shit

Where the damn killer bees at?

A comment by another use triggered this somewhat bizarre nerd extravaganza, but that´s one of the good things with having your own troll blog, I mean, you can post whatever whenever. 

Is the story of the honeyguide (a bird related to the woodpeckers) guiding honeybadgers to the bee colonies in Africa just folklore? The sources below strongly suggests so! There is a small chance that it *could* happen, since people (for obvious reasons) don´t usually hang around hives of killer bees to see what´s shaking and so forth, but apparently the behavior has never been observed by trained Western scientists. The nature documentaries supposedly showing this activity may have been staged! 

Honeyguides do guide humans to beehives, however. Nor do they give a damn about the entire controversy...
