An interactive 3D hive-entrance pollen trap where adjusting trap efficiency and drying parameters shows simulated pollen yield and product quality feeding into a small-business revenue model.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Foragers passing through a perforated trap grid have some of their pollen pellets scraped into a collecting tray; the rest stays in the hive as the colony's protein reserve — a direct yield-versus-colony-health trade-off.

🎮 How to Use

Set trap efficiency, forager traffic, drying temperature and price per kilogram. Watch pellets accumulate in the tray and the drying-rack color shift, then read off daily yield, colony pollen kept, product grade and revenue.

💡 Did You Know?

Because pollen degrades quickly once collected, many small beekeeping businesses succeed or fail on drying discipline as much as on trap design — quality, not just quantity, sets the price.
