In computer science and operations research, the bees algorithm is a population-based search algorithm first developed in 2005. It mimics the food foraging behaviour of swarms of honey bees. In its basic version, the algorithm performs a kind of neighbourhood search combined with random search and can be used for both combinatorial optimization and functional optimisation.

Famous quotes containing the word bees:
“A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly.”
