🐝 UK Beekeeping Associations: A Regional Directory

A 3D hex-map of the BBKA's regional associations, with animated benefit flows for insurance, training and local branch meetings — see how membership actually connects a beekeeper to national support.

Biology & Life3DModerate60 FPS

A glowing golden beacon standing in for the BBKA feeds membership benefits out along animated arcs to nine hex-mapped UK regions, each holding its own cluster of local beekeeping associations.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Joining a UK beekeeping association is really joining a federation: local branches feed up to national bodies like the BBKA, and benefits — insurance, training, apiary access, advocacy — flow back down through that same structure.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a region to fly the camera to it and see its branch count and estimated membership, switch which benefit the pulses represent, and adjust active membership and pulse speed to see the network respond.

💡 Did You Know?

Most BBKA membership benefits — third-party and disease insurance, discounted training toward the modular exam system, apiary access with mentors — only exist because members join through a local association, not the national body directly.
