🚨 Apiary Emergency Response: Incident Command Lab

An interactive 3D incident-command sandbox: trigger a hazard across a model apiary and dispatch a response team before hives are lost.

Trigger a hazard — fire, pesticide drift, a colony-collapse contagion, theft, or a storm front — across a model apiary and watch a dispatched response team race to secure hives before the hazard reaches them.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each hazard spreads differently: radial for fire/pesticide, hive-to-hive contagion for colony collapse, a sweeping line for storms, and targeted strikes for theft. Responders always chase the nearest at-risk hive, illustrating why detection speed and team size change how many colonies survive.

🎮 How to Use

Pick an incident type, set the response delay, team size and wind/spread speed, then click "Trigger incident". Watch hive status lights shift from green to yellow (at risk) to either cyan (saved) or red (lost) as the scenario plays out.

💡 Did You Know?

In real incident command plans, the minutes between detection and the first responder leaving base — the "response delay" modelled here — is often the single biggest factor separating a contained incident from a widespread loss.
