We have seen that they are pretty good at facial recognition. Also, researchers have proven them to be effective air quality monitors. Astonishingly, it was found that bees can even beat computers in some instances. Bumblebees can solve the popular &#8221; Traveling Salesman &#8221; problem much faster than modern computers. Recent studies reveal that they learn to fly the shortest possible route between flowers even if they are randomly ordered. Its a NP-hard problem and bees are the first animals to figure this out according to Queen Mary University of London researchers.<br \/>\nBut have you ever wondered how bees can become an integral part of a CT-Scan. Well, it may sound astounding, but a waggle dance of bees is of much more significance to us than it seems.<br \/>\nHoney bees live in colonies and show many features like bee foraging, bee dance, task selection, collective decision making, nest site selection, mating, pheromone laying and navigation systems. Such features inspired Karaboga and Basturk to develop Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm. Its one of the most popular algorithms modelling the behavior of foraging bees. Based on this algorithm a proposed approach has been developed for edge detection in images, thus playing a vital role in image processing.<br \/>\nThe algorithm uses the concept of an artificial bee colony consisting of Employee bees who look for food sources, Onlookers and Scouts. Number of employee bees is equal to the number of food sources which is further equal to number of onlookers. Scout bees are dependent on food source conditions.A similar analogy is followed for edge detection. Number of food source or employed bees is given by located source number which is half of root of product of number of rows and number of columns in image.<\/p>\n<p>By\u00a0the\u00a0number\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0source,\u00a0employed\u00a0bees\u00a0are\u00a0randomly\u00a0distributed\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0image.\u00a0The\u00a0coordinate\u00a0data\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0navigated\u00a0sources, the\u00a0gray\u00a0level\u00a0values,\u00a0fitness\u00a0value,\u00a0failure\u00a0counter,\u00a0probability,\u00a0the\u00a0source\u00a0is\u00a0banned\u00a0or\u00a0not\u00a0data\u00a0are\u00a0held. The advantage of this algorithm is that exploration and exploitation is carried on simultaneously unlike ant colony which requires backtracking. In\u00a0this\u00a0study,\u00a0fitness\u00a0function\u00a0of\u00a0ABC\u00a0algorithm\u00a0is\u00a0gray\u00a0level\u00a0value\u00a0of\u00a0resources.<br \/>\nFirst,\u00a0fitness\u00a0functions\u00a0are\u00a0computed\u00a0and\u00a0then\u00a0probability\u00a0values are\u00a0 computed\u00a0 based\u00a0 on\u00a0 fitness values.

Researchers have proven from time to time that bees are highly sophisticated problem solvers and understanding their brains do help improve our understanding of various network problems and evolutionary algorithms.<br \/>\nWell, bees indeed are much beyond just honey and when it comes to intelligence, size apparently does not matter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/information-technology\">Click here for government certification in Information Technology<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are already very much familiar with the intelligence of bees.
