🧥 Apiary Safety Equipment

An interactive 3D beekeeper mannequin showing exactly which body zones a veil, jacket, gloves and sealed cuffs actually protect against stings, and how a smoker calms bees before they attempt to sting.

Biology & Life3DModerate60 FPS

A 3D beekeeper mannequin wears a modular protective kit — veil, jacket, gloves and boots — while bees fly out from the hive to test for exposed skin, showing exactly which zones each piece of gear actually covers.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Protection is zone-specific, not all-or-nothing: a veil alone stops head stings but leaves hands, wrists and ankles fully exposed, and even a full suit only helps if the cuffs are actually sealed.

🎮 How to Use

Choose a gear level, toggle whether wrist/ankle straps are sealed, switch the smoker on, and drag the colony agitation slider to see how often bees test for gaps — and how many stings actually land.

💡 Did You Know?

A lit smoker doesn't repel bees directly — it masks the alarm pheromone (isopentyl acetate) that recruits defenders, which is why agitation visibly drops a few seconds after lighting one in this model.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D beekeeper mannequin lets you toggle a veil, jacket, gloves and boots on and off and see, zone by zone, exactly which parts of the body stay covered while bees fly out to test for gaps, sting, and react to a smoker.
