🚜 Pesticide Spray Notification and Incident Reporting

Interactive 3D farmland-apiary map: simulate a nearby pesticide spray event and step through the correct notification and incident-reporting workflow to see colony risk change.

A 3D farmland-apiary map where a tractor sprays a field next to a row of hives — change wind direction, distance, spray timing and prior notification to see the drift plume and colony-risk beacon respond, then step through the UK notification and WIIS incident-reporting workflow.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Colony risk from pesticide drift depends on distance to the field, whether the wind blows toward or away from the hives, how many bees are out foraging at the time of spraying, and whether the beekeeper had advance notice to protect the colony.

🎮 How to Use

Drag the distance and wind sliders, pick a spray time of day, and toggle prior notification. Watch the risk beacon change colour and the workflow list, then click "Advance workflow" to move from spray detection through to a WIIS incident report.

💡 Did You Know?

The Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme (WIIS) is free and open to any UK member of the public — suspected pesticide poisoning of bees can be reported even without being a registered beekeeper.
