🗒️ Beekeeping Record-Keeping: Spreadsheet, App or Paper

Interactive 3D comparison dashboard where logging simulated hive inspections via a spreadsheet, app or paper form compares time cost and data-retrieval speed across each method.

Society & Economics3DModerate60 FPS

A 3D dashboard where three glowing data columns — paper, spreadsheet and app — rise and fall as you change apiary size, inspection frequency and field-signal conditions, showing which record-keeping method costs the least time.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each logging method trades off in-field speed against later searchability. Paper logs fast but is slow to search; a spreadsheet is tidy but adds transcription overhead; an app is fastest to search but can be slowed by poor apiary signal.

🎮 How to Use

Set hive count and inspection frequency, switch between "time to log" and "time to find a record", and toggle poor field signal. Watch amber pulses fly from the hives to whichever station currently wins.

💡 Did You Know?

UK bee inspectors increasingly ask for digital inspection history when investigating notifiable diseases — a searchable app record can be produced in seconds, versus minutes of flipping through paper hive cards.
