🚨 Crisis Management and Emergency Response for Commercial Apiaries

An interactive 3D apiary yard where wildfire, pesticide drift, storms and colony theft sweep toward the hives — set your response time and watch how many colonies are saved.

A threat — wildfire, pesticide drift, a storm, or a theft crew — sweeps across a 3D apiary yard while a rescue response races to catch up. The gap between the two determines how many colonies survive.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Colony outcomes are modelled as a race between an expanding threat front and a response front that only starts moving after the crew's reaction delay. Hives the response reaches first are saved; hives the threat reaches first are lost.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a threat type, set its spread rate and approach direction, then shorten or lengthen the crew's response time to see how the count of safe, saved and lost colonies — and the estimated revenue loss — changes in real time.

💡 Did You Know?

Colony theft is under-reported industry-wide, but individual incidents routinely wipe out 50–500 hives in a single night — often the difference between a profitable and a loss-making season for a commercial operation.
