Awards/获奖情况：Praise
"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." ---《沒有果實的秋天》作者Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis
