Hive
As is known, the hive is a community that is very complex and is influenced by both internal and external factors. Therefore, I propose to create a simulation that would examine the influence of internal and external circumstances which influence the hive and the ecosystem in which they live. Especially I mean these factors:
- Number and distance of flowers and fruit trees to pollinate
- number of workers and drones in the hive
- how early beginning / end of summer / winter affect stocks of honey and colony survival
- how number of workers affect pollination of trees/ flowers and therefore the number of flowers and trees in neighbourhood
How it will work
Workers are responsible for getting food for whole hive and also for pollination of trees and flowers. They are using sun for the orientation and they communicate between themselves. In the beehive there ale drones, which fertilizes Bee´s queen, bee´s queen, which oviposits and the eggs-larvas, which are later transformed to either workers or drones.
Trees/flowers need to be pollinated in order to proliferate. There will be also change of season and different hive behaviour during summer/winter
Method I will use NetLogo to simulate the Hive
- OK, sounds interesting. Accepted. Please, identify yourself. Tomáš 22:49, 29 November 2012 (CET)
