Grid computing is the infrastructure that involves a large number of resources like computers, networks and databases which are owned by many organizations.These resources are collected together to make a huge computing power.Job scheduling problem is one of the key issues in grid computing and failing to look into grid scheduling results in uncompleted view of the grid computing.Achieving optimized performance of grid system, and matching application requirements with available computing resources, are the objectives of grid job scheduling.Bee colony approaches are more adaptive to grid scheduling due to high heterogeneous and dynamic nature of resources and applications in grid.These algorithms have shown encouraging results in terms of time and cost.This paper presents some resent research activities inspired by bee foraging behavior for grid job scheduling especially ABC and BCO approaches.Different original studies related to this area are briefly described along with their comparisons against them and results.The review summary of their derived algorithms and research efforts is done.
