Based on the foraging characteristics of bees, bees algorithm is proposed. In this method, the searching behavior
is guided by the individual previous foraging experience and shared information among the swarm. The algorithm keeps
the balance between exploration and exploitation by the individual adjustment factor and the difference factor between the
individual and group. The implementation techniques of the algorithm are given and the convergence of the algorithm is
analyzed by using compression mapping theorem. The test results show the good performance of the algorithm by optimizing
typical benchmark functions.
