Title: | Models for the Recruitment and Allocation of Honey Bee Foragers | Contributor(s): | Myerscough, Mary R (author); Edwards, James R (author); Schaerf, Timothy (author)![]() |

The distribution of foragers among sources, generated by this waggle dance recruitment, has been modeled with differential equations. Differential equation models either represent each stage of foraging - dancing, visiting forage sites, waiting as an unemployed forager, following a dance - or more simply divide the foraging force into pools of workers where each pool exploits a different site. Other models include receiver bees who work in the hive and modulate the foragers' dance response to the quality of forage sites. Simulation and individual-oriented models for honey bee foraging are briefly discussed as well as foraging in other social insects. A brief description of the application of ideas from honey bee foraging to create bee-based computer algorithms concludes the chapter. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Grant Details: | ARC/DP0984731 | Source of Publication: | In Silico Bees, p. 67-86 | Publisher: | CRC Press | Place of Publication: | Boca Raton, United States of America | ISBN: | 9781466517882 9781466517875 |
