Creation Moments

Jonathan Cotton: An African bird has an unusual relationship with humans. Learn about it on today's Creation Moment. And now, here's our Creation Moment host, Ian Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: It has long been known that an African bird, known as the honey guide, leads badgers to bees' nests where the badger tears the nest apart to eat the honey. The badger always leaves more than enough for the honey guide. Now it has been learned that the honey guide has a similar relationship with the Boran people of Kenya. When the bird has found a bees' nest, it will alert the Boran, bidding them to follow it to the honey site. On the other hand, if the Boran want to know where the honey is, they know how to whistle and call for a honey guide.

The honey guide also calls to the people so that they know which way to go. When the Boran reach the honey, they always make sure that they leave some for the honey guide. Researchers also reported that they saw honey guides scouting out bees' nests at night so that they had good sights to lead the Boran to the next day. While the honey guide does get its reward of honey in return for its help, the intelligence of the honey guide in establishing these relationships with human beings is impressive. But while the honey guide can help teach us that the creation is the work of an intelligent creator, it cannot teach us how to have a relationship with him.

For that, we must go to the Bible.
