🍯 Pricing Honey and Hive Products: Cost-per-Kilogram Method

Interactive 3D cost-breakdown chart where adjusting input costs like equipment, time and jars against simulated yield gives a live cost-per-kilogram and suggested retail price.

Society & Economics3DModerate60 FPS

A 3D cost-breakdown tower stacks equipment overhead, labour and packaging into a true cost per kilogram of honey, then caps it with a gold margin segment showing a suggested retail price — adjust the sliders and watch the tower and jar shelf respond live.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Fixed overhead and labour costs are divided across the whole season's yield, so the same costs spread thinly over a big harvest but concentrate sharply into a poor one — the stacked tower's height reveals that relationship instantly.

🎮 How to Use

Set annual yield, fixed overhead, labour cost, jar & packaging cost per kg, and your target margin. Watch the cost-per-kg tower and the suggested retail price update live, and see the honey jar shelf grow or shrink with yield.

💡 Did You Know?

A colony that yields only 15–20kg in a poor season can double or triple the fair cost per kilogram compared with a strong 60kg+ year, purely because the same fixed costs are divided across fewer jars.
