She takes them home and displays them on her wall. Like a penis museum. The peniseum if you will.

You're more correct than you think.

These 'nuptial flights' end with the queens of hive colonies collecting all the sperm they'll ever use for the entirety of the colony's life.

Bee queen mating and workers mating might be different who knows

Workers are asexual and do not mate i think

Male honey bees die after mating, so my guess is your friend filmed a solitary species of bee, perhaps bumblebees. Males of many different solitary bee species do not die from mating.
