An agent-based model of collective nest choice by the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2005, background): “Similar experimental data is also available for honeybee house-hunting (Camazine et al. 1999; Seeley & Buhrman 1999; Seeley & Buhrman 2001; Seeley 2003; Seeley & Visscher 2003, 2004 ) as well as for certain aspects of the foraging of honeybees (Seeley 1995) and several ant species (Detrain & Deneub”
The principles of collective animal behaviour (2006, background): “For example, Camazine et al. (1999), Seeley & Buhrman (2001), Seeley (2003) and Seeley & Visscher (2003) have studied the migration of honey bees and found that they use a similar combination of positive feedback (dancing instead of tandem running) and quorum thresholds (Seeley & Visscher 2004) as…”

Swarm cognition in honey bees (2007, methodology): “This model was validated using the experiments in Seeley and Buhrman (1999, 2001), Camazine et al. (1999), Seeley (2003), Seeley and Visscher (2003, 2004a) .”
Quorum sensing during nest-site selection by honeybee swarms (2004, methodology): “[We used 30% as our threshold because in previous work (Seeley and Tautz 2001; Seeley and Visscher 2003) it was found that, due to stochasticity in the pro- duction of piping signals, the use of a lower threshold would result in many false starts, i.e., the piping would start and stop.”
Modeling and analysis of nest-site selection by honeybee swarms: the speed and accuracy trade-off (2005, methodology): “We let ε q >0 denote this quorum threshold and, based on the experiments by Seeley and Visscher (2003, 2004b), let ε q =20 bees.”
