A simple iterative model accurately captures complex trapline formation by bumblebees across spatial scales and flower arrangements.
Pollinating bees develop foraging circuits (traplines) to visit multiple flowers in a manner that minimizes overall travel distance, a task analogous to the travelling salesman problem. We report on an in-depth exploration of an iterative improvement heuristic model of bumblebee traplining previousl...
