title = "The Bees Algorithm – A Gentle Introduction",
abstract = "The Bees Algorithm is a popular optimisation method taking inspiration from the food foraging behaviour of honey bees. The algorithm performs a kind of exploi-tative neighbourhood search combined with random explorative search. This chapter describes in detail the Bees Algorithm and its variants. The description of the Bees Algorithm is framed in the general context of parameter optimisation, highlighting the main issues and how the Bees algorithm addresses them. The state-of-the-art of the empirical and theoretical understanding of the Bees Algo-rithm is discussed and areas of further work are suggested.",
