Problem Definition
As is known, the hive is a community that is very complex and is influenced by both internal and external factors. Also it is said, that hive is the only working communist and feminist community in the world. Therefore, I created a simulation that examine the influence of internal and external circumstances which influence the hive and the ecosystem in which they live. Especially I mean these factors:
- Number and distance of flowers to pollinate
- Number of workers and drones in the hive
- How duration of winter affect stocks of honey and colony survival
- How number of workers affect pollination of flowers and therefore the number of flowers in neighborhood.
The goal of this hive simulation is to understand the dependencies among factors listed above.
Method
Because of hive is multiagent system, I used NetLogo 5.0.3. for this simulation. NetLogo is powerful tool and is easy to learn. But it has also disadvantages. For example low speed and performance, which was a problem.
