A batch of honey jars moves along a fulfilment line — filled, packed, listed and shipped — while a live 3D bar chart shows exactly where each pound of the retail price goes.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Production cost stays roughly fixed, but packaging, platform fees and shipping all shift with the sales channel, order size, delivery distance and season — squeezing or growing the profit bar in real time.

🎮 How to Use

Set the retail price, pick a sales channel, adjust shipping distance and batch size, and toggle summer or winter. Watch the jars change to insulated boxes in summer and the chart update instantly.

💡 Did You Know?

UK honey sellers must register as a food business with their local authority at least 28 days before trading, and jars need a "best before" date, net weight and the producer's address on the label.
