Bee Forage Planting Planner

Plant trees and shrubs around a beehive and watch how species choice, canopy size and forage radius determine how much of the plot honey bees can actually reach and exploit.

Plan a planting layout for a beehive by placing trees and shrubs around it and watching how canopy size, forage radius and nectar value combine to determine how much of the plot the colony can actually exploit. Pick a species, click the plot to plant it, and adjust the hive's foraging radius to see which plants fall in range and which patches of ground remain uncovered.

⚙ Under the hood

Plant trees and shrubs of different species around a fixed beehive and watch how canopy size, forage radius, nectar value and the hive's flight range combine to determine how much of the plot is actually covered, with uncovered gaps highlighted live on the ground.
