🐝 Honey-Bee Hive: Comb Geometry, Thermoregulation, Foraging and Honey Lab

A 3D Langstroth hive with a cutaway of real hexagonal wax comb, queen, workers and drones, in a meadow apiary. Brood-nest heat balance at 34.5 C, foragers' trip energetics and the waggle dance, nectar ripening (water 60 % to 18 %) and the colony's population are simulated, and an experiment finds how many kilograms of honey one winter needs and compares it with an analytic energy balance.
