🐝 Emergency Planning for Beekeepers

An interactive apiary risk model showing how theft, fire, storm and disease events damage a beehive yard, and how insurance coverage and record-keeping quality determine the payout and recovery time.

An interactive apiary yard where you trigger theft, fire, storm, or notifiable-disease scenarios and watch how insurance coverage and record-keeping quality change the payout, the net loss, and how fast the operation recovers.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each event type damages a different share of the apiary in a different way — theft removes hives outright, fire chars them, storms topple them, disease forces destruction under quarantine — and the model turns coverage and documentation quality into an actual payout figure.

🎮 How to Use

Set apiary size, pick an emergency type, and adjust insurance coverage and record-keeping quality, then press Trigger event. Covered hives get a green ring; the stat panel shows loss, payout, net exposure, and recovery time.

💡 Did You Know?

Insurers routinely reduce or deny bee-related claims when hive registers, photos, and valuations are missing — good record-keeping is itself a form of risk management, not just paperwork.
