The video shows the process of splitting bee colonies to create five-frame nucleus colonies. The beekeeper uses a smoker and carefully selects frames with brood, pollen, and nectar to create the nucleus colonies. They will then be moved to a different location and given queen cells to start new colonies.

The video focuses on a beekeeper's plan to turn small colonies (nucs) into large honey producers. The beekeeper explains a method for pairing nucs together and using a queen excluder to create a larger hive that can quickly produce honey. This technique is designed to maximize honey production while minimizing the risk of swarming and disease.
