🚚 Planning Safe Routes and Guarding Apiaries in Transit

An interactive 3D hive-transport truck: pick a departure hour and ambient temperature to see travel-window heat risk, then park at a rest stop and light the security perimeter.

Animals & Their World3DModerate60 FPS

A loaded hive-transport truck drives a day/night route where departure hour and outside temperature set a live cargo-heat estimate, then parks at a rest stop where security lighting and a perimeter beacon can be armed or left dark.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Cargo temperature tracks ambient heat plus solar gain through the day, warming the hive roofs visibly once it crosses a heat-stress threshold — while night hours stay in the calm, cool travel window beekeepers favour.

🎮 How to Use

Slide departure hour and temperature to watch the sky and cargo-temperature readout change, add or remove strapped hive rows, then check "parked at rest stop" and toggle security lighting to compare a lit, monitored layby with a dark, unguarded one.

💡 Did You Know?

Many commercial haulers schedule multi-hour legs entirely overnight — cooler air, calmer bees and lighter traffic together cut the odds of a strap failure or a hive shifting at speed.
