🐝 Succession Planning for Beekeeping Businesses and Family Apiaries

An interactive 3D model of a beekeeping business handover, tracking how hives, equipment, customer relationships and colony knowledge transfer from founder to successor over time.

Entomology & Insect Behaviour3DAdvanced60 FPS

A founder pedestal and a successor pedestal are linked by four glowing transfer tracks — hives, equipment, customer relationships, and colony knowledge — while an apiary yard between them changes hands hive by hive as the transition unfolds.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Different succession paths move business assets in different shapes: a sale transfers legal ownership fast but leaves colony knowledge lagging; inheritance shifts everything at once around a single legal event; gradual mentorship spreads all four categories out evenly.

🎮 How to Use

Scrub years into the transition, switch between mentorship, sale and inheritance paths, resize the apiary, and toggle the red knowledge-gap risk cloud that only shrinks as real mentorship time accumulates.

💡 Did You Know?

Undocumented know-how — which yards flood, which queens run hot, which customers pay late — is the asset most often lost in a rushed handover, even when hives and equipment change hands cleanly.
