Maddy explores a wax comb from a natural hive to study the life cycle of honey bees. She uses a microscope camera to examine the comb, finding a fly and a wax moth grub. Maddy explains the four stages of a honey bee's life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. She discusses the roles of different bees in the hive, including workers, drones, and the queen. Maddy attempts to find examples of each stage in the comb, ultimately observing a nearly developed adult bee. The video concludes with a close-up examination of the bee's features and a discussion on the importance of bees in pollination.
