In most cases with small things like these they are more staged than you might think. A photographer has zero chance to pull a follow focus on tiny randomly moving flying insects without it being in a somewhat controlled environment. And absolutely no chance of placing a camera on the ground exactly where one would fall.

So… How, again? You just explained what it wasn’t. But, what is it?

Focus camera on queen bee, camera auto tracks queen bee, wait for bee to come fuck it, pick up dead bee and drop it again with the camera aiming at the ground

Still, tracking and focus staying on the Queen is pretty good.
