在非洲的部分地区，更大的导蜜䴕（指示器指示器）将人们带到蜜蜂的巢穴，之后人们收获蜂蜜，并使蜂蜡和幼虫可以接触到导蜜䴕。在科学和通俗文学中，蜜蜂和蜜獾（Mellivora capensis）之间经常描述类似的合作关系，但这种情况发生的证据尚不清楚。这种伙伴关系可能对我们自己的物种与蜜䴕合作的起源以及蜜獾和蜜䴕的生态和保护都有影响。在这里，我们回顾了蜜獾和蜜䴕合作进入蜜蜂巢穴的证据，从已发表的文献中提取，从我们自己在研究这两个物种时的观察中提取，并通过对9个非洲国家11个社区的蜂蜜猎人进行394次采访。我们发现科学证据依赖于不完整和二手的叙述，并不能令人信服地表明这两个物种合作。我们采访的大多数采蜜人同样对这种互动持怀疑态度，但坦桑尼亚哈扎比人、马赛人和混合文化社区的许多受访者报告说，他们看到过蜜獾和蜜䴕互动，并认为它们确实在合作。这种补充方法表明，最有可能的情况是，相互作用确实发生了，但高度局部化或极难观察到，或者两者兼而有之。由于存在很大的不确定性，我们概述了实证研究，以澄清蜜䴕和蜜獾是否以及在何处合作，并强调将科学和文化知识整合到生态学中的价值。
In parts of Africa, greater honeyguides (Indicator indicator) lead people to bees' nests, after which people harvest the honey, and make beeswax and larvae accessible to the honeyguide. In scientific and popular literature, a similar cooperative relationship is frequently described between honeyguides and honey badgers (Mellivora capensis), yet the evidence that this occurs is unclear. Such a partnership may have implications for the origins of our own species' cooperation with honeyguides and for the ecology and conservation of both honey badgers and honeyguides. Here, we review the evidence that honey badgers and honeyguides cooperate to access bees' nests, drawing from the published literature, from our own observations whilst studying both species, and by conducting 394 interviews with honey‐hunters in 11 communities across nine African countries. We find that the scientific evidence relies on incomplete and second‐hand accounts and does not convincingly indicate that the two species cooperate. The majority of honey‐hunters we interviewed were similarly doubtful about the interaction, but many interviewees in the Hadzabe, Maasai, and mixed culture communities in Tanzania reported having seen honey badgers and honeyguides interact, and think that they do cooperate. This complementary approach suggests that the most likely scenario is that the interaction does occur but is highly localized or extremely difficult to observe, or both. With substantial uncertainty remaining, we outline empirical studies that would clarify whether and where honeyguides and honey badgers cooperate, and emphasize the value of integrating scientific and cultural knowledge in ecology.
