🐝 Succession Planning and Five-Year Roadmaps for Beekeeping Businesses
An interactive 3D five-year roadmap where colony growth rate, handover year, successor readiness and valuation multiple shape an apiary's leadership transition and business value.
An interactive 3D roadmap of five apiary business years where colony growth, the handover year, successor readiness and a valuation multiple together decide how the business grows and what it is worth at the moment of transition.
🔬 What It Demonstrates
Each of the five year-platforms shows a growing stack of hives and a floating valuation tag; platforms glow gold while the founder leads and shift to teal (or silver for a sale) once a glowing baton reaches the chosen handover year.
🎮 How to Use
Set the annual growth rate and watch every platform's hive count compound, drag the handover year to move where the baton lands, choose a successor readiness level to see the post-handover dip or boost, and toggle family vs. sale to change the roadmap's colour story.
💡 Did You Know?
Advisers typically recommend a two-to-three year co-management overlap before a formal handover — modelled here as the "journeyman" readiness level, which holds growth steady instead of dipping or spiking.
