WHAT IS IT?

This model simulates the interaction of mutually beneficial between bees and sunflowers.

HOW IT WORKS

Agents:

There are two types of agents: bees and sunflowers.

Model Rules:

  1. There are 165 patches in the model. The nutrients in each patch may support and only support one sunflower plant.

  2. Bees lose energy when they move around to search for flowers and die when running out of energy.

  3. Bees gain energy when they find flowers and will produce offspring when they accumulate enough energy.

  4. Bees pollinate the sunflowers, and only the pollinated flowers produce seeds.

  5. Spraying Insecticide kills bees.

  6. Urbanization reduces the area of sunflower patches.

HOW TO USE IT

  1. Use sliders number-of-plants and other similar sliders to set up the number of organisms. Click Start/Reset to confirm the settings.

  2. Put a number in years to define when the model ends.

  3. Click Run/Pause to run or pause the model. Good for gaining an overview and a long-term result.

  4. Click Run a year to run the model for a hypothetical year. Good for systematically collecting data.

  5. Use Urbanization and Rewild to change the area of sunflower patches

  6. Use Bees-killed-by-insecticides to define how many bees are killed by insecticides.

THINGS TO TRY

  • What population patterns emerge when neither urbanization nor insecticides are present in the model?

  • What population patterns emerge when urbanization is present in the model?

  • What population patterns emerge when insecticides are sprayed in the model?

  • How do urbanization and/or insecticide utilization affect the yields of oil and honey in the model?
