🔨 Frame Wiring & Foundation Installation Workshop

A 3D workbench model of a wooden Langstroth frame — tension the wire, choose a foundation type, embed the wire with a heated spur, and watch bees draw either straight or crooked comb depending on how well the job was done.

Biology & Life3DModerate60 FPS

A wooden Langstroth frame on a virtual workbench, wired and fitted with foundation exactly as it would be by hand — tension the wire, embed it, then watch bees draw comb straight or crooked depending on the job.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Wire sag, wire count, foundation rigidity, and whether the wire was heat-embedded all combine into one "comb straightness" outcome — the same structural chain a beekeeper manages at the workbench.

🎮 How to Use

Choose a foundation type, set the wire count and tension, run the embedder, then press Let bees draw comb to grow a hex comb front and see how straight it comes out.

💡 Did You Know?

Wire is normally tensioned until it makes an audible "twang" like a guitar string — too slack and the foundation bulges or tears once bees start filling cells with brood and honey.

⚙ Under the hood

A 3D workbench simulation of a Langstroth hive frame where you tension wire, choose a foundation type, run a heated embedding tool, and watch bees draw comb straight or crooked depending on how well the wiring and foundation job was done.
