This work introduces MAYA, a sequential imitation learning model based on multi-armed bandits, designed to reproduce and predict individual bees' decisions in contextualized foraging tasks. The model accounts for bees' limited memory through a temporal window $τ$, whose optimal value is around 7 trials, with a slight dependence on weather conditions. Experimental results on real, simulated, and complementary (mice) datasets show that MAYA (particularly with the Wasserstein distance) outperforms imitation baselines and classical statistical models, while providing interpretability of individual learning strategies and enabling the inference of realistic trajectories for prospective ecological applications.
