Abstract
⺠A detailed agent-based model for nest site selection by Apis florea is presented. ⺠A. florea is better suited to decision making when nest sites are abundant. ⺠Low levels of dance mimicry increase decision speed. ⺠Self-regulating behaviours by dancers have little or no effect on decision making.
