💧 Summer Water Station Design Lab

Place and tune a hive water station in 3D and watch foraging bees choose it — or drift next door to the neighbour's pool — based on distance, scent appeal and landing rafts.

A 3D apiary where you place and tune a hive water station and watch foraging bees decide, trip by trip, whether to use it — or fly on to the neighbour's swimming pool.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each forager scores your station against the neighbour's pool using distance, scent/mineral appeal and landing rafts; the more that score wins, the more foragers commit to it and keep returning.

🎮 How to Use

Move the station closer or farther from the hive, raise its scent appeal, toggle floating landing rafts, and dial up colony thirst on hot days. Watch the live split between your station and the pool.

💡 Did You Know?

Foragers exhibit strong site fidelity — once a bee finds a workable water source she keeps returning to that exact spot, which is why getting a station right early in summer matters so much.
