🐝 Colony Strength Assessment and KPI Tracking

Interactive 3D hive where assessing simulated frame coverage, brood ratio and population rolls these up into KPI gauges tracked across a beekeeping operation's dashboard.

An interactive 3D hive inspection where pulling frames and reading their brood pattern, comb coverage and bee density rolls up into the same KPI gauges an apiary manager tracks across an operation's dashboard.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Frame coverage, brood ratio and population estimates are each normalised against a seasonal target band and combined into a single 0–100 Colony Strength Score, the same logic beekeeping operations use to flag weak hives for requeening or feeding.

🎮 How to Use

Drag the coverage, brood ratio, population and frame-count sliders and watch the comb texture and swarming bee cloud respond in real time. Switch seasons to shift what "healthy" looks like, then re-inspect to reshuffle the brood pattern.

💡 Did You Know?

Field inspectors often estimate strength in seconds by counting "seams of bees" — frames covered edge to edge on both faces — a quick proxy for the frame-coverage KPI modelled here.
