How do bees self-organise?
Simplifying Complexity
The Local Interactions Between Bees
A bee that senses the pheromones of the queen has a decision to make. She can either start sending and amplify and propagate that information backwards to the less informed bees, or she can start walking in a direction that increased the chemical concentration. So we're assuming that a bee can sense its local environment as a typical agent-based model. And it's making a simple calculation to walk towards the higher concentration which is more likely where the queen or other informed bees are. These are the two outcomes of that model.
