Bee Life Cycle and Responsibilities

The video explains the life cycle of bees, focusing on the transition from winter to summer. It begins with the spring cleaning process where dead winter bees are removed for hive health. The queen bee plays a crucial role in repopulating the hive by laying thousands of eggs.
