Matthew McConaughey plays a beekeeper in his new film “The Rivals of Amziah King," but working with a multitude of bees on a movie set — about 40 hives containing 25,000 bees each — requires special training and skills.

For that, director Patterson and producer Black Bear Pictures relied on local experts while making the film in Alabama back in 2023, hiring Birmingham’s Adam Hickman as a beekeeping adviser and lead bee wrangler.

Hickman, 40, is the founder of Foxhound Bee Company, arguably the best-known beekeeping business in Alabama. Read more about how Hickman found himself wrangling bees for a Hollywood film at the link in the comments.
