How they decide…
More individuals should become helpers when the cost to the donor of providing aid is small
More individuals should become helpers when the coefficient of relatedness between recipient and donor is large
Cumulated Aid
Benefit of recipient
Number of helpers
Cumulated Aid received by recipient
Additional benefit from each additional helper

Nestlings continue to benefit from increasing number of helpers and observed helper number has rarely reached the point of diminishing returns
Prediction of decreasing likelihood of becoming helper cannot be tested with this species
Two types of costs were examined
Energetic costs for helping
Deferring one’s own reproduction
Helpers that had involved in any successful nesting attempt that had reached the point of feeding young.
Higher Costs
Less
Help
Less
Help to others
Delayed breeding costs
More individuals should become helpers when the coefficient of relatedness between recipient and donor is large
Clan 1
Clan 1
One member of the new pair remains in its natal plan and other (usually female) leaves its natal clan.

Help
The question is that will the new (in-law member) receive the same amount of help from the members of non-natal clan?
Observation demonstrated that:
Bee eaters are more likely to help the most closely related recipients.
There were 10 instances in which helping was directed towards recipients outside of the clan. But, in 8 cases birds temporarily rejoined their natal groups to help their parents or step-parents.
