🐝 Beekeeping as Community Impact

An interactive 3D apiary impact web where you set investment split, hive count and outreach focus to see how a social-enterprise apiary converts hives into jobs, training, food-bank donations and school workshops.

Economics & Social Systems3DModerate60 FPS

A hub apiary sits at the centre of a web of community outcomes — jobs, volunteer training, school workshops and food-bank donations — powered by redirecting part of its honey output from commercial sale into outreach.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

How the same hive output can be split between commercial honey sales and social-enterprise programmes, and how that split changes the scale of employment, training, education and food-security outcomes.

🎮 How to Use

Set the number of hives and the community investment share, pick an outreach focus, and watch the four impact pillars and animated bee flow respond in real time.

💡 Did You Know?

Some UK community-interest apiaries run structured beekeeping apprenticeships for people facing barriers to employment, funded directly by honey sold at local markets.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D apiary hub where hives feed an "impact web" of four outcome pillars — jobs, volunteer training, school workshops and food-bank jars — that grow as you increase hive count and the share of honey output redirected into community programmes.
