Social Behavior of Honey Bees

In the meantime, JavaView is used in other projects too. For example, biologists in South Africa currently use one of our applets to compute shortest curves in a beehive to get information on the distance of the queen to selected other bees. Here the biologists load a model of the beehive into the geodesic applet, interactively select the positions of two bees, and invoke our geodesics algorithm to obtain the shortest curve connecting both positions. This example stresses the online usage of JavaView as well as the automatic installation process.
