🌳 Integrating Apiaries into Agroforestry and Mixed Land-Use Systems

A 3D working farm you can re-plan live: drag land-use diversity from a bare monoculture field to a full tree-row, hedgerow and wildflower-margin mosaic and watch forager bees and a live forage-reliability score respond.

Ecology & Conservation Biology3DModerate60 FPS

Drag a farm from bare monoculture to a diversified agroforestry mosaic — tree rows, hedgerows and a wildflower margin around the cropland — and watch forager bees and a live forage-reliability score respond.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Diversified land use staggers bloom across the season instead of concentrating it in one crop's short flowering window, giving colonies steadier, lower-risk forage.

🎮 How to Use

Raise land-use diversity to reveal tree rows, hedgerows and a wildflower margin, switch seasons to see which sources are blooming, and adjust hive count and tree-row spacing.

💡 Did You Know?

Field-margin and hedgerow plantings are one of the most cost-effective interventions farms can make to extend a colony's active foraging season beyond a single cash crop's bloom.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D farm where you drag land-use diversity from bare monoculture to a full agroforestry mosaic of tree rows, hedgerows and a wildflower margin, switch seasons, and watch forager bees and a live forage-reliability score respond.
