Artificial Bee Colony: A

Swarm Intelligence
Optimization Algorithm
Welcome! Let's dive into the fascinating world of swarm intelligence and
how we can leverage the collective wisdom of bees to solve complex
optimization problems.
Understanding Bee Behavior and the Hive
Mind
Social Structure Communication Collective Decision
Making
Honeybees live in organized colonies, Bees communicate through
with specialized roles for each bee - pheromones and the "waggle dance," The hive operates as a collective
queen, workers, and drones. a complex method to convey intelligence, where individual
information about food sources. decisions are combined to achieve a
common goal.
The Foraging Strategy of
Honey Bees
Exploration Exploitation
Bees explore the Once a good source is
environment, searching for found, bees exploit it,
promising food sources. returning to the hive to
gather more nectar.

Communication
The discovery of a food source is communicated to the hive via
the waggle dance, attracting other bees.
The Waggle Dance and
the Recruitment of Bees

1 Angle
The angle of the waggle run relative to the vertical
indicates the direction of the food source.

Distance
2
The duration of the waggle run corresponds to the
distance to the food source.

Quality
3
The vigor and number of waggle runs convey the quality
of the food source.
