Jason Statham brings superb action and vengeance in your Sunday Night movie The Beekeeper. The movie is about a beekeeper who seeks the help of a mysterious group called the Beekeepers to track down ruthless scammers who scammed his landlady. In an interview, Statham spoke about the importance of bees and how the movie taught him more about them. Let's take a look at celebrities who have taken up the magnificent and magical hobby of beekeeping.

Morgan Freeman
The man with a giant voice has a giant ranch in Mississippi, and converted part of it into a honeybee sanctuary. Freeman started his passion project in 2014 and imported 26 beehives from Arkansas to his ranch. Watch his interview on The Jimmy Fallon Show where he talks about this hobby that has become part of his lifestyle. In the interview, he claims he does not put on a bee suit when tending to his bees, and he and Fallon banter over the risk of getting stung.

Leonardo DiCaprio
The Oscar-winning actor was introduced to beekeeping by his mum's boyfriend and says he took up beekeeping to cope with stress. He has several beehives in his garden in Los Angeles.

Scarlett Johannson and Ryan Reynolds
Samuel L Jackson says he gifted then-married couple Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johannson with a beehive as a wedding gift, and got them into the idea of beekeeping. They kept up the hobby for a while, but called it quits when their marriage ended.

Michelle Obama
The former first lady had a taste for saving the bees and had many beehives at the White House. Former White House carpenter Charlie Brandts soon became the housekeeper of these superb beehives. Here's a video of him talking about the art of beekeeping.

Jennifer Garner
Garner always seemed like the girl next door, coming across in many of her movies and now in her passion for beekeeping. Garner owns a farm with chickens and a vast variety of vegetables, and eventually added bees to it. She once described beekeeping as a fun science experiment.
