The wireless sensor network, which is the physical basis of the Internet of things, has a serious limitation - the requirement of low power consumption. The service life of the network depends on the energy consumption. The bee swarm algorithm proposed in the paper develops the idea of searching for the head nodes of wireless sensor network clusters. According to the proposed algorithm, at the beginning of the cycle, the head of the cluster of the current round and potential heads of clusters for the remaining rounds of the cycle are immediately determined. The simulation results show the superiority of the bee swarm algorithm in comparison with the well-known adaptive clustering algorithm with low energy consumption LEACH in terms of the duration of the wireless sensor network.
