Optimization algorithms are search methods where the goal is to find an optimal
solution to a problem, in order to satisfy one or more objective functions,
possibly subject to a set of constraints. Studies of social animals and social
insects have resulted in a number of computational models of swarm intelligence.
Within these swarms their collective behavior is usually very complex. The
collective behavior of a swarm of social organisms emerges from the behaviors of
the individuals of that swarm. Researchers have developed computational
optimization methods based on biology such as Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm
Optimization, and Ant Colony. The aim of this paper is to describe an
optimization algorithm called the Bees Algorithm, inspired from the natural
foraging behavior of honey bees, to find the optimal solution. The algorithm
performs both an exploitative neighborhood search combined with random
explorative search. In this paper, after an explanation of the natural foraging
behavior of honey bees, the basic Bees Algorithm and its improved versions are
described and are implemented in order to optimize several benchmark functions,
and the results are compared with those obtained with different optimization
algorithms. The results show that the Bees Algorithm offering some advantage over
other optimization methods according to the nature of the problem.
