📒 A Carbon Accounting Framework for Beekeeping Operations

An interactive 3D scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG-accounting chart for a beekeeping operation: set fleet fuel, purchased electricity, renewable share and reporting boundary to see how a compliant carbon ledger is actually built.

A live 3D GHG ledger sits above a model apiary, splitting a beekeeping operation's emissions into Scope 1 direct fuel, Scope 2 purchased electricity and Scope 3 value-chain inputs — so the abstract idea of a "reporting boundary" becomes something you can literally raise or lower.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each scope gets its own bar driven by simple, auditable per-hive or per-unit emission factors. Changing the reporting boundary greys out and drops bars outside scope, showing exactly how much of the real footprint a narrow Scope 1+2 report leaves out.

🎮 How to Use

Set hive count, fleet diesel use and purchased electricity, then push the renewable electricity share up to watch Scope 2 shrink and the solar panels brighten. Switch the reporting boundary to see Scope 3 upstream and full value-chain bars enter — or leave — the ledger.

💡 Did You Know?

Under the GHG Protocol, Scope 3 disclosure is voluntary for most organisations, yet for agricultural businesses it's frequently the largest category — a beekeeping operation that only reports Scope 1+2 can be reporting well under half its true footprint.
