一群蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）在面临几个选择时，能够选择一个筑巢地点。我们将疾病、信息和相互竞争的信念的经典数学模型应用于这样的决策过程。我们表明，集体决策可以不需要任何蜜蜂在不同地点之间进行任何比较而达成。
A swarm of honeybees (Apis mellifera) is capable of selecting one nest-site when faced with a choice of several. We adapt classical mathematical models of disease, information and competing beliefs to such decision-making processes. We show that the collective decision may be arrived at without the necessity for any bee to make any comparison between sites.
