One of the most effective swarm intelligence-based algorithms for many global optimization issues is the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) strategy. Despite the fact that there are many Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) variants, the algorithm normally has a low convergence rate. Therefore, it is still essential to moderate an algorithm's intensity and diversity. In this instance, the standard Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm has been combined with the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Differential Evolution Algorithm (DE) to generate a novel Hybrid Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC), Artificial Bee Colony-Differential Evolution-Whale Optimization Algorithm (ABC-DE-WOA). For simple benchmark problems with up to 100 dimensions, 50 dimensions, 30 dimensions, and 10 dimensions, the proposed hybrid technique is compared with Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) variants like Artificial Bee Colony-Whale Optimization Algorithm (ABC-WOA), Artificial Bee Colony-Differential Evolution Algorithm (ABC-DE), and original Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC). The results show that the proposed technique performs better than its competitors in terms of convergence speed.
