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.

“As bees their sting, so the promiscuous leave behind them in each encounter something of themselves by which they are made to suffer.”
