🐝 Langstroth vs Warré vs Top Bar vs Flow Hive

A side-by-side 3D comparison of Langstroth, Warré, Top Bar and Flow Hive designs — inspect frames, fill honeycomb, and harvest to see how each hive's mechanics differ.

Education & Learning Tools3DModerate60 FPS

Four beehive designs stand side by side in one 3D scene so their frames, comb, and harvest mechanics can be compared directly instead of only in a spec table.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each hive's structural logic — removable vertical frames, bottom-added Warré boxes, hanging top-bar comb, and the Flow Hive's internal drain channels — and how "harvest" means something different for each.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a hive design to fly the camera to it, drag the comb fill slider to see honey stores build up, toggle cutaway to peek inside, and hit Harvest honey to watch each hive's extraction method play out.

💡 Did You Know?

The Flow Hive doesn't produce more honey per box than a Langstroth — it just lets that same honey drain out through a tap instead of being uncapped and spun, at a much higher upfront cost.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D scene placing all four major beehive designs side by side, letting visitors fill combs with honey, cut away hive walls to see internal frames, and trigger each hive's distinct honey-harvest mechanism.
