Meet Maryam Henein
Known as the Bee Lady, Henein has built a remarkable body of work across film, long-form reporting, books, and interviews. She co-directed the award-winning documentary Vanishing of the Bees, examining the disappearance of honeybees and the forces shaping the food supply. Her investigative work also includes the documentary The Real Timeline and the book Operation George Floyd: A Multi-Layered Psyop Exposed.
Through HoneyColony, her Substack, and Truth Lives Here, Henein brings a distinctive voice to health, food politics, and the questions people ask when looking beyond a product label. Her work combines persistence, detailed research, firsthand experience, and a willingness to ask difficult questions.
For an aligned brand, that experience gives a campaign substance: an original story that explains the product, examines its supporting evidence, and connects its purpose to readers’ lives. Henein uses the products she recommends and brings her experience as a functional medicine coach to the discussion. Her reputation and editorial judgment are part of every partnership.
