🧰 DIY Apiary Workshop Builds

Interactive 3D workshop scene where users assemble a wax melter or hive-part jig from individual parts, with toggles for damp-weather modifications showing how each build adapts to UK conditions.

Assemble a solar wax melter or a hive-frame assembly jig on a virtual workbench, part by part, then toggle the damp-weather modifications UK beekeepers add to keep water off joints and air moving through the box.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

How exploded-view assembly, a workshop build's exposure to sun and rain, and simple drainage/overhang/ventilation details combine to determine whether wax melts efficiently and whether joints stay dry.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a build, drag the assembly slider from exploded parts to a finished build, then adjust sun angle and rainfall. Toggle damp-weather mods on and off to compare puddle risk and wax-melt rate.

💡 Did You Know?

A simple drip channel and a few millimetres of roof overhang can be the difference between a solar wax melter that lasts one wet British summer and one that lasts a decade.
