Efficiency in collective behaviours depends on how to harmonise the individual contributions so that a complementary collective effort can be achieved to offer a useful solution. The harmonisation helps blend diversification and intensification suitably towards efficient collective behaviours. In this study, two renown honeybees-inspired algorithms were analysed with respect to the balance of diversification and intensification and a hybrid algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency accordingly. The proposed hybrid algorithm was tested with solving wellknown highly dimensional numerical optimisation (benchmark) problems. Consequently, the proposed hybrid algorithm has demonstrated outperforming the two original bee algorithms in solving hard numerical optimisation benchmarks.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSwarm intelligenceNumerical optimisationBee-inspired algorithmsDiversification and intensificationConference Object10.1007/978-3-319-98446-9_132-s2.0-85053153231144Q313211056WOS:000458812900013N/A
