A look at How Do I Bee?.
The question
What could a small colony reveal when you watch it over time?
A hive can look quiet from the outside while a lot is changing within it: bees come and go, food stores shift, and the colony responds to the seasons.
How Do I Bee? offers a simulated apiary to explore. Visitors can watch foraging, inspect the hive, and move through time as an underlying model tracks population, food, weather, and activity.
