Blueberry cellophane bee (Colletes validus) female excavates a nest near host blueberry plants in Falmouth, MA. Nests descend from 17 to 60 cm (6.7 to 23.6 in) and measure ≈8 mm (0.31 in) in diameter. [4] Tunnel walls are not compacted since C. validus lacks a pygidial plate normally used for tamping down soil (a trait shared by all Colletes ...
Osmia atriventris, sometimes referred to as the Maine blueberry bee, is a megachilid bee native to eastern North America from Nova Scotia to Alberta in the north, and Iowa to Georgia in the south. [1] This solitary bee normally gathers pollen from many different flowers, but will pollinate blueberries, and is sometimes used commercially for ...
Swarm algorithms follow a Lagrangian approach or an Eulerian approach. [25] The Eulerian approach views the swarm as a field, working with the density of the swarm and deriving mean field properties. It is a hydrodynamic approach, and can be useful for modelling the overall dynamics of large swarms.
Osmia ribifloris, one of several species referred to as a blueberry bee, is a megachilid bee native to western North America, including Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and northern Mexico.
The scout bees are translated from a few employed bees, which abandon their food sources and search new ones. In the ABC algorithm, the first half of the swarm consists of employed bees, and the second half constitutes the onlooker bees. The number of employed bees or the onlooker bees is equal to the number of solutions in the swarm.
The name blueberry bee may refer to one of several bee species used to pollinate blueberries: The "southeastern blueberry bee", Habropoda laboriosa;
Swarm (app), a mobile app by Foursquare; Roccat Swarm, a software by Roccat; Swarm intelligence, artificial intelligence technique; Swarm robotics, approach to the coordination of multirobot systems; Swarm (ESA mission), a European Space Agency satellite mission to measure Earth's magnetic field; Swarm (simulation), multi-agent simulation package
Habropoda laboriosa, the southeastern blueberry bee, is a bee in the family Apidae.It is native to the eastern United States. [1] It is regarded as the most efficient pollinator of southern rabbiteye blueberries, because the flowers require buzz pollination, and H. laboriosa is one of the few bees that exhibit this behavior.
