A beekeeper documents their day, starting with attempting to remove a bee bait box from a tree. However, the box falls, and bees become agitated, stinging the beekeeper multiple times. The beekeeper manages to capture some of the bees and moves them into a Lego hive. They then inspect and maintain their other beehives, including a Flow Hive, where they add a super to harvest honey. The beekeeper also tries a new dog food, Nom Nom, with their Australian Shepherd, Joey. After a chaotic day, the beekeeper finally harvests honey from one of their horizontal hives and pours it into a bucket, resulting in a successful but painful day.
