🗺️ Beekeeper Forage Map Planner (2D)

2D top-down forage-map planner: pick a candidate apiary site, adjust the forage radius, switch seasons and compare sites on a land-cover grid to see how much oilseed rape, woodland, heather and hedgerow forage each site can reach.

Ecology & Conservation Biology2DModerate60 FPS📱 Mobile-adapted⇄ 3D version

A top-down land-cover grid with three candidate apiary sites, each ringed by an adjustable forage-radius circle that reveals how much oilseed rape, woodland, heather and hedgerow forage a site can reach as the season changes.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

The same forage-index math as the 3D version, read from directly above: a weighted sum of seasonal forage value over every tile inside the radius circle, with closer tiles counted more heavily.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a site, drag the radius slider, switch seasons, and toggle "Compare all sites" or the heat layer to spot overlap and high-value forage patches at a glance.

⚙ Under the hood

A top-down land-cover grid where you pick a candidate apiary site and adjust its forage radius, season and comparison layers to see how much nectar forage it can reach.
