description The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a famous swarm intelligence method utilized across various disciplines due to its robustness. However, it exhibits limitations in exploration mechanisms, particularly in high-dimensional or complex landscapes. This article introduces the adaptive exploration artificial bee colony (AEABC), a novel variant that reinspires the ABC algorithm based on real-world phenomena. AEABC incorporates new distance-based parameters and mechanisms to correct the original design, enhancing its robustness. The performance of AEABC was evaluated against 33 state-of-the-art metaheuristics across twenty-five benchmark functions and an engineering application. AEABC consistently outperformed its counterparts, demonstrating superior efficiency and accuracy. In a variable-sized problem (n = 10), the traditional ABC algorithm converged to 3.086 × 10<sup>6</sup>, while AEABC achieved a convergence of 2.0596 × 10<sup>−255</sup>, highlighting its robust performance. By addressing the shortcomings of the traditional ABC algorithm, AEABC significantly advances mathematical optimization, especially in engineering applications. This work underscores the significance of the inspiration of the traditional ABC algorithm in enhancing the capabilities of swarm intelligence.
