🍯 Managing Vendor and Supplier Relationships in a Beekeeping Business

A 3D supply network showing how supplier reliability, dual-sourcing and lead times keep a beekeeping business's queen, equipment and consumable stockpiles from running dry.

A live 3D supply network linking a beekeeping operation to its queen breeder, equipment supplier and consumables vendor, showing how reliability, lead time, demand and dual-sourcing shape stockpiles and stockouts.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each shipping lane rolls a reliability check on every order cycle; failed shipments vanish mid-flight and never restock the warehouse. Diversifying with a backup vendor only fails when both suppliers fail in the same cycle — the core logic behind supplier diversification as a resilience strategy.

🎮 How to Use

Adjust supplier reliability, order lead time and demand rate, and toggle dual-sourcing on or off. Watch the three warehouse silos rise and fall, and see how quickly the beacon on the roof turns red when a category runs dry.

💡 Did You Know?

Commercial beekeepers often pre-book queens from more than one breeder months in advance, since a single bad weather week at one queen yard can wipe out an entire spring requeening schedule.
