Dancing for a decision: a matrix model for nest–site choice by honeybees

A mathematical model is formulated for decision making by honeybees during nest-site choice, using a population matrix model. This model explains how the observed dynamics of the nest-site scouts' dancing can reliably lead to a choice of the best nest site available.
