The optimization algorithms that imitate nature have acquired much attention principally mechanisms for solving the difficult issues for example the travelling salesman problem (TSP) which is containing routing and scheduling of the tasks. This thesis presents the parallel Bees Algorithm as a new approach for optimizing the last results for the Bees Algorithm. Bees Algorithm is one of the optimization algorithms inspired from the natural foraging ways of the honey bees of finding the best solution. It is a series of activities based on the searching algorithm in order to access the best solutions. It is an iteration algorithm; therefore, it is suffering from slow convergence. The other downside of the Bee Algorithm is that it has needless computation. This means that it spends a long time for the bees algorithm converge the optimum solution. In this study, the parallel bees algorithm technique is proposed for overcoming of this issue. Due to that, this would lead to reduce the required time to get a solution with faster results accuracy than original Bees Algorithm.
