🐝 Commercial Apiary Economics Lab

An interactive 3D commercial apiary and revenue model showing how colony count, pollination contracts and migratory trucking shape a professional beekeeping business.

Animals & Their World3DAdvanced60 FPS

A working apiary yard paired with a live 3D revenue chart, showing how colony count, pollination-contract share, season and migratory trucking shape a professional beekeeping business's income.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Commercial beekeepers blend several income streams — pollination contracts, honey, and nuc/queen sales — that trade off against each other and scale with operation size, exactly as the bar chart shows in real time.

🎮 How to Use

Adjust the number of colonies operated and the share of revenue coming from pollination contracts. Switch seasons to see how the yard's activity changes, and toggle migratory trucking to see hives loaded for transport.

💡 Did You Know?

Large-scale US commercial beekeepers often truck the majority of their colonies to California each February for almond pollination — the single largest managed-pollination event in the world.
