来自蜂巢思维的智能决策：蜜蜂的觅食者和花蜜接收者合作优化活跃觅食者数量
Intelligent Decisions from the Hive Mind: Foragers and Nectar Receivers of Apis mellifera Collaborate to Optimise Active Forager Numbers
摘要：
建立了一个基于微分方程的意大利蜜蜂花蜜采集数学模型。该模型侧重于两个行为类，花蜜觅食和花蜜接收器。从模型中生成的结果被用来演示集体中的不同类如何通过简单的交互来协作以组合信息并产生微调的决策。特别是，我们显示的重要性的“搜索时间”-返回觅食需要找到一个可用的花蜜接收器的时间-在限制觅食人口的水平与整个殖民地的需求。
英文摘要：
We present a differential equation-based mathematical model of nectar foraging by the honey bee Apis mellifera. The model focuses on two behavioural classes; nectar foragers and nectar receivers. Results generated from the model are used to demonstrate how different classes within a collective can collaborate to combine information and produce finely tuned decisions through simple interactions. In particular we show the importance of the `search time' - the time a returning forager takes to find an available nectar receiver - in restricting the forager population to a level consistent with colony-wide needs.
