An interactive 3D orchard where you set hive stocking density, crop type and rental rate, watch foraging-range coverage and colony strength update live, and see contract revenue calculated per acre.

Entomology & Insect Behaviour3DAdvanced60 FPS

A 3D orchard block where hive pallets are placed at your chosen stocking density, bees fan out to forage within a set flight range, and each row of trees is colour-coded by whether it falls inside enough coverage to be well pollinated.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Pollination adequacy depends on stocking density, forage range and colony strength together — not any one number alone. Sparse or weak hives leave gaps between coverage discs, and the trees in those gaps set fruit poorly regardless of how good the contract price looks.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a crop, set the rental rate, then adjust stocking density, forage range and colony strength. Watch the coverage discs, canopy colours and bloom coverage percentage respond, and check block revenue and yield outlook update instantly.

💡 Did You Know?

Blueberries need far higher hive densities than tree fruit — bees find blueberry flowers less rewarding than competing wildflowers, so growers often stock 4–6 colonies per acre versus roughly 1–2 for almonds or apples.
