The video details the process of managing aggressive bee hives. The yellow hive, known for its hostility, was split into three new hives with new queens to curb the aggression. Despite initial challenges, including the bees killing a new queen, the split was successful. The beekeeper marked the new queens with different colors for identification and moved them into new hives. The old yellow hive was dismantled, and its bees were encouraged to join the new hives.

In the end, the beekeeper expressed relief at resolving the issues with the aggressive yellow hive and looked forward to peaceful beekeeping.
