{"product_id":"book-jwx7","title":"The Honey Trap","description":"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 and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuite a lot, in fact. In \u003ci\u003eThe Honey Trap\u003c\/i\u003e, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith engaging storytelling 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.","brand":"Highbridge Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49398733603120,"sku":"BDjwx7","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49398733537584,"sku":"ZEjwx7","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49398733570352,"sku":"ZMjwx7","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/jwx7-cover.jpg?v=1765893096","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-jwx7","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
