🐝 Tracking KPIs in a Beekeeping Business

An interactive 3D apiary bar chart where each hive's stack height and colour encode a live beekeeping KPI — profit, revenue, cost or yield per colony — as you tune price, cost and colony count.

An interactive 3D apiary bar chart where every hive's stack height and colour encode a live KPI — profit, revenue, cost or yield per colony — so a set of business assumptions becomes something you can see across a whole yard at once.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Colonies vary naturally in yield even under identical management. Stacking that variance against a fixed cost per colony and a chosen honey price shows why averages hide underperforming hives — and where the break-even yield actually sits.

🎮 How to Use

Adjust colony count, average yield, honey price and annual cost per colony, then switch the KPI shown between profit, revenue, cost and yield. Red-roofed hives are running a loss; green-roofed hives are clearing break-even.

💡 Did You Know?

Break-even yield (cost ÷ price) is one of the simplest KPIs a small beekeeping business can track, yet it's often the one most likely to expose which colonies are quietly costing more than they earn.
