🍯 Honey Quality Standards and Organic Certification

An interactive 3D lab modelling the forage buffer zone and compositional limits (moisture, HMF) that decide whether a batch of honey can be sold as organic or genuine under UK/EU/Codex rules.

A 3D forage buffer zone around a working hive, paired with a honey jar whose fill and colour track moisture content and HMF, showing exactly which UK/EU/Codex thresholds a batch clears — and which one breaks certification.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Organic status depends on distance to contamination sources within a required forage buffer, while "genuine honey" labelling depends on compositional limits for moisture (ripeness) and HMF (heat/age damage) — two independent pass/fail checks.

🎮 How to Use

Set the buffer radius your certifier requires and how close the nearest sprayed field or industrial site really is, then dial in a batch's measured moisture and HMF. Watch the buffer disc, honey jar and compliance badge respond live.

💡 Did You Know?

Because the "3km rule" is about the surrounding land, not the beekeeper's own practice, a certified-organic hive can lose its status overnight if a neighbouring farm starts spraying — with zero change in the apiary itself.
