🍯 Storing Honey, Wax, Pollen and Propolis

A 3D storage-room lab where you tune temperature, humidity, light exposure and elapsed time to watch honey, beeswax, pollen and propolis degrade — or stay shelf-stable — in real time.

Chemistry & Materials3DAdvanced60 FPS

A 3D storage-room lab where four pedestals hold honey, beeswax, bee pollen and propolis side by side, each with its own live quality gauge, so you can see exactly how temperature, humidity and light exposure push each product toward — or away from — spoilage.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each product has its own storage physics: honey crystallises fastest near 10–15°C and ferments in humid warmth, beeswax stays inert until it nears its melting point, pollen moulds quickly in warm/humid air, and propolis stiffens when cold but softens and dulls in heat and light.

🎮 How to Use

Set the room's temperature and humidity, toggle light-exposed vs dark storage, and run the clock forward with the time-speed slider. Watch the honey cloud with crystals, the wax slump, mould spots spread on the pollen jar, and the propolis darken — with a colour-coded quality bar above each stand.

💡 Did You Know?

Commercial honey houses treat storage as a documented HACCP control point: cool, dry, dark rooms with stable humidity below roughly 60% RH can keep capped honey and propolis shelf-stable for years, while the same batch left warm and humid can visibly change in a matter of weeks.
