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

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.

Document how to find your queen, cage her and mark her
"When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically. In this context the proponent of an activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof. The process of applying the precautionary principle must be open, informed and democratic and must include potentially affected parties. It must also involve an examination of the full range of alternatives, including no action." Wingspread Statement on the Precautionary Principle, Jan. 1998

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.
