Digging for clues: Stick tools used for honey digging in a second community of ‘forest fragment chimpanzees’ outside the Budongo and Bugoma Forests, Uganda by Matthew R. McLennan, Georgia A. Lorenti, Simon Mugenyi, Jonan Muganzi, Jacqueline Rohen

“…Documenting tool use in newly-studied chimpanzee populations, and identifying technological variation among regional groups (‘communities’), aids understanding of the behavioural and ‘cultural’ diversity of this species. Some chimpanzee populations use sticks to dig out subterranean nests of stingless bees (Meliponini) to access the underground honey stores, a tool-assisted foraging behaviour referred to here as ‘honey digging’. …”
