The honey guide bird and the honey badger have a mutalistic relationship, because both the bird and badger benefit, because the bird locates the honey while the badger attacks the bees and the bird can break through the bees nests hard shell and they both snack.
The honey guide bird is an opportunist! It guides a badger to where it has spotted a bees' nest, but because it can't access the honey on its own, it uses the badgers ability to claw its way there, take what it wants, and the honey guide bird reaps the leftovers. This system of cooperation is also called mutualism.
The badger part of the team can raid a bee nest and get the honey (it is called a honey badger) and the bird part of the team scouts out where the bee nests are and leads the badger to them (hence honey guide). The badger gets information, the bird (leftover) food.
Honey badgers and honey guide birds do not live together. However, they both benefit each other. The honey guide bird leads the honey badger to bee hives. The badger then tears open the hive and eats honey and bee larvae, which it wouldn't have found without the bird. The badger leaves scattered scraps behind, which the bird eats, but it could not have accessed them without the manual labor of the badger.
It depends on what kind of badger it is. An American badger, no. An African Honey Badger, yes.
the type of relationship they have is mutuals
yes ,yes they are the honey guide leads the badger to a honey comb. the badger rips it apart and the small little pieces the badger does not eat goes to the honey guide.

really they are in Africa, the honey guide bird guides the badger to the honey and then the badger breaks it and the badger and the honey guide bird eats it.they are a great team when they searches honey.................................................................. lol=laugh out loud
the relashionship between a honey guide and honey badger is, when a honey guide smells honey he sings a little tune and waits for a honey badger to come. when the honey badger reaches the honey guide the bird flies to were the scent of honey came from leading the badger towards honey.
Larvae and wax are what draw the honeyguide bird to a bee hive whereas honey is what attracts the honey badger.Specifically, the bird in question (Indicatoridaefamily) carries the common name "honeyguide" because of a reputation for leading humankind to bee colonies in order to feed on larvae and wax after people take the honey. The mustelid mammal in question (Mellivora capensis) is human-like in a passion for honey and omnivorous in opportunistic feeding even though scientists classify the weasel-like badger as carnivorous.
They are well known for their abilities to kill snakes by grabbing it behind the head with it's jaws and kill it. Honey badgers can devour a snake in 15 minutes. Honey badgers have a great appetite for beehives, and many of them have been stung to death by trying to eat the hive. A bird, called the honeyguide, will lead the honey badger to bees' nests. When a honey badger breaks the beehive, the bird will take it's share. The honey badger is one of the fiercest hunters of the desert, it's prey includes earthworms, termites, scorpions, porcupines, hares, and large prey like tortoises, crocodiles , and snakes (pythons and venomous species). It's ferocious reputation extends to attacking animals much larger than itself. The honey badger will eat dangerous venomous snakes, often the puff adder. When bitten the honey badger will become severely swollen and paralyzed,and will not move several hours. After a period of time the honey badger will awaken and continue eating its meal or its journey. A honey badger will steal a snake's kill, eat it, then continue to hunt the snake. This ferocious nature of the badger has earned it its image as a formidable creature. Honey badgers will dig into burrows of small rodents and flush them out for a small meal. The honey badger's has large front claws, and its ability to dig into burrows is very effective and will dig until the rodent found. Other wildlife are aware of this and Birds of Prey and jackals are usually ready to steal any kills which manage get past the honey badger.

symbiotic relationship of honey badger and honeyguide bird
They honey badger or ratel
The honey guide bird can locate honey in a bees' nest but is unable to get to the honey for itself, so it guides the badger to the nest. The honey badger cannot find the nest easily by itself but, once shown the nest by the bird, the badger can open the nest with relative ease, using its huge claws. The badger eats the honey it wants and the bird feeds on the remains. This is an example of a symbiotic relationship. It is also sometimes called mutualism.
An African Honey Guide is a small bird in Africa that locates beehives with the help of a badger.
mutualism
They wouldn't have a relationship

When the honey guide bird finds a bee hive with honey, it makes a certain noise. Then the honey badger follows the sound of the bird until it find it, and the bee hive. The badger then breaks down the bee hive and the badger and the bird eat all the honey :) and live happily ever after ;p
because there attracted to eachother.
Honey is the honey badger's favorite treat, although they do not rely on honey, but the nutritious bee hive is a sought after delicacy. The honey guide bird, has a habit of leading honey badgers to the bees' nests, and eats the honey, larvae, and wax from bee hives.
