Propolis Trap Lab (2D)

2D top-down propolis-trap lab: narrow the screen slots below the bee-space threshold, watch foragers seal the active cells with resin, then chill and flex the trap to crack brittle propolis into a collection tray.

This 2D companion watches the same propolis trap from directly above rather than orbiting a 3D scene: a slotted screen grid where narrowing the trap-gap slider below the ~6 mm bee-space threshold turns more of the grid "active" from the centre outward, small forager dots wander the trap and settle on active cells to deposit resin at a rate set by the colony-activity slider, and chilling the trap before flexing it releases each cell's accumulated fill as flakes that arc into the collection tray — brittleness, flake yield and harvested grams all follow the same formulas as the 3D version, just read off a flat readout panel instead of a rotating camera.
