🐝 Beekeeping Cooperatives

A 3D model of a beekeeping cooperative: member apiaries pool honey through a shared extraction hub and a mutual-aid fund that redirects support to any apiary hit by a crisis.

Member apiaries arranged around a shared extraction hub send honey inward along access roads, pooling stock in a common silo while a slice of every harvest builds a mutual-aid fund that any member can draw on during a crisis.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Shared infrastructure (the extraction drum and storage silo) processes honey from every apiary at once, while a portion of each load is diverted into a visible mutual-aid tank instead of the shared stock.

🎮 How to Use

Set the number of member apiaries, harvest intensity, and the mutual-aid contribution rate. Mark one apiary as being in crisis and watch the fund tank drain as aid crates are dispatched out to it.

💡 Did You Know?

Cooperative extraction lines and bulk-purchased equipment can cut a small beekeeper's per-hive infrastructure cost dramatically compared to buying everything solo.
