There are many animals that will eat honey, but the most notorious is the Honey Badger. Others include:

  • Honey Possum
  • Bear
  • Raccoon
  • Skunks
  • Civets
  • Jackals
  • Other Badger Species

In the wild some Primates, Insects, Birds and regular Mammals all go out there way for honey even tho it is guarded by some pretty tough guards (in most places) but they have different ways of getting the good stuff.

Chimpanzees use tools but only the older experienced ones. Roaches live in the hive and feast on honey and wasps invade, they don't only eat the honey but the larvae and bees themselves. The honey badger as its name gives away loves honey and will tear apart a bee hive for it and the honeyguide (a type of bird) will get either get a humans or honey badgers attention, lead them to a hive it found, stand back and wait for some honey as a thank you for showing them where the honey was.

Also the honey possum doesn't eat honey, it eats nectar which is what honey is made from, by bees chewing it up. Im not sure if any marsupial eats honey in the wild but if an animal has sweet taste buds you can be sure it will eat honey.
