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.
