🐝 The Economics of Commercial Pollination Contracts for UK Beekeepers

An interactive 3D field where hive count, rental rate and colony strength drive a live pollination-coverage map and profit chart for UK commercial pollination contracts.

Biology3DAdvanced60 FPS

A rented apiary dropped into a crop field, where hive count, rental price and colony strength drive a live pollination-coverage map and a profit bar chart.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Field patches are coloured by distance to the nearest hive and colony strength, showing why under-stocked contracts leave gaps in coverage while over-stocking wastes margin. The bar chart tracks revenue, cost and profit live.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a crop contract, then adjust hives supplied, rental rate and colony strength. Watch the coverage map fill in (or thin out) and the profit bars respond in real time.

💡 Did You Know?

Weak colonies cost beekeepers more than strong ones on a pollination contract — replacement, feeding and grower complaints about poor set fruit all eat into the rental fee.
