❄️ Arctic and Subarctic Beekeeping: Winter Cluster Survival Simulator

Model a honeybee winter cluster surviving a 7-9 month subarctic winter. Set outside temperature, hive insulation, colony size and honey stores, then watch the cluster tighten, the core temperature swing and the stores deplete over a simulated winter.

⚙ Under the hood

Model a honeybee winter cluster surviving a 7-9 month subarctic winter. Set outside temperature, hive insulation thickness, colony size and honey stores, then watch the cluster tighten, the core temperature swing and the stores deplete over a simulated winter -- push it past -35C and see the cluster lose the ability to hold its core above the 10C survival threshold.
