This document discusses the bee algorithm, which is an optimization technique inspired by the foraging behavior of honey bees. It begins with an introduction and overview of concepts like nature of bees, hill climbing, swarm intelligence, and bee colony optimization. It then describes the key steps of the proposed bee algorithm, including initializing a population of solutions, evaluating their fitness, selecting sites for neighborhood search, recruiting bees to search those sites, and iterating until an optimal solution is found. An example application to a traveling salesperson problem is provided. The document concludes that bee algorithm can help provide an optimal solution for problems with many possible solutions, such as in artificial intelligence applications.
