Climate Adaptation Strategies for Beekeeping Operations (2D)
2D apiary dashboard: adjust temperature and rainfall trends per season and watch heat-stress, drought and flood indices trigger shading, ventilation, feeding and flood risers.
This 2D companion drives the same seasonal heat/drought/flood index formulas as the 3D apiary through a flat schematic view: three hives sit on a ground strip with a sun/rain overlay and a forage meadow, and as you push the temperature and rainfall trend sliders toward a heatwave, drought or wet spell, shading cloths unfold, ventilation fans spin, feeders fill and hive stands rise on flood risers exactly when the underlying stress index crosses its trigger.

Auto-adapt is on by default. Once the flood index (driven by effective rainfall) crosses its trigger, the simulation deploys flood risers automatically, the same way a beekeeper would raise hive stands ahead of standing water.
Each season has a historical average temperature; the temperature-trend slider adds or subtracts degrees from that baseline to model a warming or cooling trend, and the result drives the heat-stress index.
Too little rain (drought) and too much rain (flood, which washes out flowers) both reduce the forage index, alongside heat stress — the meadow flowers visibly shrink and dull as forage drops.
