Bees Algorithm is a population based new search algorithm which is one of the meta heuristic techniques based on swarm intelligence. Bees Algorithm depends on to model natural behavior of real honey bees in food foraging and is used to obtain solutions for combinatorial and generally continuous optimization problems in the literature. On the other hand, Generalized Assignment Problem is known as an NP-Hard problem and can be formulated as a combinatorial integer optimization problem. In this study, firstly Bees Algorithm is modified to solve Generalized Assignment Problem and the effects of shift, swap, double shift, and ejection chain neighborhood structures on the performance of Bees Algorithm is analyzed.
