History, anatomy, products produced, breeding, pollinating, heirarchy, or what? The honeybee covers many fields. What section are you looking at?

The life of a bee...the queen, the worker's different stages in life and of course the life of a drone.

Then the best route on a forum like this is to wait until you have a basic layout, then come in with specific questions and we can help. It would take thousands of pages to collect the knowledge shared on this forum by all members. There are over 200,000 posts here, from over 5,000 members, and they still haven't told all they know.

Depends on your intended audience.  If this is a scientific documentary, you will want close-up, inside the hive shots showing the complexity of bee behavior.  If this is for a more general audience, you will want to show the interaction of beekeepers with their bees including problems with pests, decisions about swarm prevention, etc, etc, etc.  Are you a beekeeper yourself?  If not,  You should find a willing accomplice and work a hive yourself to get a feel for what is involved.
