# Send suspect bots to a honeypot

Use the [bot score field](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/request/#incomingrequestcfproperties) to send bots to a honeypot.

JavaScript

```
export default {  async fetch(request) {    const response = await fetch(request);
    // Clone the response so that it is no longer immutable    const newResponse = new Response(response.body, response);
    if (request.cf.botManagement.score < 30) {      const honeypot = "https://example.com/";      return await fetch(honeypot, request);    } else {      return newResponse;    }  },};
```
