Experimental Hive Microclimate Lab (2D)

A 2D cutaway view of a beehive where you pick the hive shape, wall material, wall thickness and ventilation to see internal temperature, heat loss, bee cluster behaviour and airflow respond live.

This 2D companion drives the same steady-state thermal-balance model as the 3D version through a plain cutaway side view: pick a hive shape and wall material, then adjust wall thickness, ventilation and outside temperature and watch the internal temperature reading, the bee cluster's radius and the rising convection particles respond in real time.

⚙ Under the hood

2D cutaway hive-thermal lab where internal temperature is colony heat output divided by total heat conductance (wall + ventilation), driving the bee cluster's shape and the convection airflow speed.
