Welcome to BeeSim!

This sandbox simulation shows how simple bee behaviors create complex group patterns. Explorers search for flowers and leave pheromone trails; workers follow those trails to harvest nectar.

Controls

• Explorers: Seek flowers and deposit trails.
• Workers: Follow trails to flowers.
• Wind Strength & Direction: Affects flight paths; arrow shows direction.
• Rain: Bees return to hive when toggled.
• Plant Flowers: Click/tap to add a flower.

Future Directions

This simulation framework could be adapted for biomedical data visualization, such as modeling cellular behaviors or simulating molecular interactions. Potential applications include:

• Drug Delivery Systems: Simulating nanoparticle swarms navigating through biological environments.
• Immune Response: Modeling the behavior of immune cells in response to pathogens.
• Tumor Growth: Visualizing the spread and interaction of cancer cells with surrounding tissues.
• Neural Networks: Representing synaptic connections and signal propagation in the brain.

By integrating real-world biomedical data, this tool could provide insights into complex biological systems and support research in healthcare and life sciences.
