🌼 Restoring Bee Habitat

An interactive 3D restoration plot where you set native-flower coverage, bare-ground nest banks, bee-hotel density, season and pesticide buffers, and watch a wild-bee population forage and nest in response.

Ecology & Conservation Biology3DModerate60 FPS

A restoration plot where native flower coverage, bare-ground nest banks and bee-hotel density combine to support (or fail to support) a population of foraging wild bees.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Wild bee populations are capped by whichever resource is scarcest — forage or nesting — and further reduced by pesticide exposure, mirroring the site-assessment logic used in real restoration planning.

🎮 How to Use

Adjust flower coverage, bare-ground nest banks and bee-hotel count, switch season, and toggle the pesticide-free buffer. Watch the habitat score, bee population and foraging trips respond live.

💡 Did You Know?

About 70% of the world's roughly 20,000 wild bee species nest in bare or sparsely vegetated ground rather than in hives, so "tidy" mulched margins can remove most of a site's nesting capacity.
