About this product
Product Information
A unique look at the history, culture, tradition, and environmental impact of honey The Honey Trail is a global travel narrative that looks at different aspects of how honey and bees are being affected by globalization, terrorism, deforestation, the global food trade, and climate change. This unique book not only questions the state of our environment and the impact it is having on bees and honey, it also takes readers on an adventure across Yemeni deserts and Borneo jungles, through the Mississippi Delta and Tasmania's rainforests, over frozen Siberian snowscapes and ancient Turkish villages all in search of the liquid gold known as honey. Including fascinating insights such as: - A bee produces only a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime - China is the world's largest honey producer - Honey is only used as medicine in Borneo - There are more than thirty-five mono-floral honeys in Tuscany.

Reviews
Opening The Honey Trail is like opening a gorgeous flower, petal by petal, page by page, photo by photo. Pundyk's book is a pointed but optimistic tribute not just to honey but to those concerned individuals working to resolve the myriad of problems facing bees., "Honey is one of our first foods, and perhaps no other offers such a window onto the world and its ways. In The Honey Trail , Grace Pundyk undertakes a mind-boggling journey to capture a global snapshot of honey, from the fabled deserts of Yemen to wild honey hunters in Borneo, high-tech honey factories in Beijing, and the migrant beekeepers of the American West. She gets places few have been, asks tough questions, and describes her experiences in lively and lambent prose. If you want to understand why honey has captivated humanity for millennia, The Honey Trail is the book for you." --Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis "Opening The Honey Trail is like opening a gorgeous flower, petal by petal, page by page, photo by photo.
