When bees leave their hive hoping to find a better location for their nest, they often first settle nearby, usually on a tree branch, and cluster around the queen while several dozen scouts go off in search of a new home. Each scout then returns and starts to dance, indicating the direction and distance of the site it found. The more excited they become, the more frantically they dance, signaling the others to have a look. Ultimately, a favorite location emerges from all this swarming and buzzing about — and they all depart and fly to it.

In computer science, this behavior is known as particle swarm optimization, which holds that each particle’s movement not only is influenced by its own position but is guided to other good positions, all of which are updated as other particles find better positions. This process usually moves the whole collection of particles toward the best outcome.
