Fritz von Meyer is a composite being of thousand bees driven by his human intelligence. He is also technically intangible, as his body is an aggregate of tiny forms. As Swarm, he can fly through the air, assume any shape or size at will, and mentally influence other bees' actions (the full range may extend over a hundred yards in radius).
Learn how the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) simulates the foraging behavior of honey bees to solve optimization problems. ABC consists of three types of bees: employed, onlooker and scout, and uses a probabilistic selection mechanism based on nectar amounts.
A synthetically produced Nasonov pheromone can be used to attract a honey bee swarm to an unoccupied hive or a swarm-catching box. Synthetically produced Nasonov consists of citral and geraniol in a 2:1 ratio. The Nasonov gland was first described in 1882 by the Russian zoologist Nikolai Viktorovich Nasonov.
Swarming is a honey bee colony's natural means of reproduction, where a single colony splits into two or more distinct colonies. Learn about the preparation, process, and nest site selection of swarming, as well as the methods to control it.
Swarm is an open-source software package for simulating the interaction and emergent behavior of agents (social or biological). It was developed at the Santa Fe Institute and is used for scientific and commercial applications.
Nuptial flight is the reproductive phase of ants, termites and some bees, when winged queens and males mate and start new colonies. Flying ant day is an informal term for the day when future queen ants emerge from the nest, but it is not a synchronized or predictable event.
