These termites are fungus farmers and feed the gigantic queen with it.
Unfortunately the fungus farming is not part of this clip, but it is also described the same program.
Edit: This is an older version of sir David Attenborough, revisiting another mound and talking about fungus farming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGaT0B__2DM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGaT0B__2DM
