TL;DR. A population-based optimization algorithm inspired by the foraging behavior of honey bees.
Technical Definition
A population-based optimization algorithm inspired by the foraging behavior of honey bees.
How it works
The Bees Algorithm is a metaheuristic optimization technique that simulates the behavior of honey bees searching for food sources. It involves exploring the search space by generating new solutions around promising areas and exploiting the best solutions found so far. The algorithm is effective for both continuous and combinatorial optimization problems.
