Amazing and cruel processes occur within the hive. When the queen bee ages and is unable to lay eggs, her fate is sealed. The bees begin to raise the temperature in the hive, leading to her death. This process is necessary to make room for a new queen, who will assume the hive's important role. But this doesn't just affect old queens. False queens and thieves from other hives are also subjected to this cruel treatment. During this time, a thin, alarming sound can be heard—the queen's cry, trying to persuade the bees to spare her.
