Foraging habits of honeybees

Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) is a meta–heuristic method based on foraging habits of honeybees. This technique was motivated by the analogy found between the natural behavior of bees searching for food and the behavior of optimization algorithms searching for an optimum in combinatorial optimization problems.

This paper is an extensive survey of the Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) algorithm, proposed for the first time in 2001. BCO and its numerous variants belong to a class of nature-inspired meta–heuristic methods, based on the foraging habits of honeybees. Our main goal is to promote it among the wide operations research community.
