    af Dana Church
    192,95 kr.

    Exposing the misguided assumptions behind an altruistic trend The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally-friendly hobby, tending backyard hives and encouraging bees to make honey and pollinate flowers and crops. What could be wrong with that? Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 20,000 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. With engaging story-telling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be.It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.
