Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a swarm based algorithm which simulates the basic principles of foraging behaviour of honey bee colonies and it has been particularly proposed for numerical optimization problems. This article describes the algorithm and presents the application of ABC to a well-known problem [1].
