Polski🐝 Ancient Beekeeping Simulator (2D)
2D cutaway hive lab: compare straw skep, hollow log and clay pot insulation, tune season and foraging activity, then harvest honey by driving the bees out or with destructive sulphur-smoke, and watch colony health, honey stores and internal hive temperature respond.
This 2D companion drives the same fixed-comb hive model as the 3D version — internal temperature drifting toward the season's ambient reading damped by each hive material's insulation, colony health tracking deviation from the 35°C brood-nest target, population lagging health, and honey income scaling with health, population and foraging activity — through a flat side-view cutaway with a live temperature gauge and honey fill-level bar instead of an orbitable scene.

Each hive material only partially insulates the nest — the internal temperature drifts toward ambient + insulation × (35 − ambient), so a well-insulated hollow log (0.75) holds much closer to the bees' 35°C target than a thin clay pot (0.65) at the same outside temperature.
Driving coaxes the colony into a fresh hive, taking about 70% of stored honey while the colony survives with a small health penalty. Sulphur smoke takes all the honey but kills the colony outright, dropping population to roughly 15% of its prior level — the historically destructive method that fixed-comb beekeepers eventually abandoned.
