This paper describes the first application of the Bees Algorithm to optimization problems. The Bees Algorithm (BA) is a search procedure inspired by the way honey bees forage for food. The paper presents the results obtained showing the robust performance of the BA. The results of comparative studies of the Bees Algorithm against other various discrete and continuous optimization algorithms for various design problems are reported to show the efficiency of the former. It is observed that Bees Algorithm finds the region of the search space containing the global optimum.
