MODELLING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

About Sustainable Growth: A simulation you control with code, to investigate the interdependent lives of flowers, bees and birds. Flowers and other plants are fertilized as bees move pollen from flower to flower. Bees eat flower pollen and nectar and make honey. Some birds eat flower seeds and/or bees to survive. Get the Quick Interface Guide.
