Factual error: The movie is set in the US, but there are several things which aren't found in the US that give away the fact that it was shot in the UK. In one scene, a Tesco superstore can be seen in the background and the lift bridge seen in the film is Kings Ferry Bridge which connects the Isle of Sheppey to the Kent mainland.

I watched this movie on Amazon Prime.
Hell yeah. What's not to love seeing Jason Statham doing his Jason Statham thing.
Sure he pretty much plays the same character in every movie, but that's what we come to see and expect from him. So him kicking ass in a brutal action movie like this is just a treat.
In this movie, Statham plays a man named Adam Clay, who is a Beekeeper... in both the literal sense of tending to real bees... and as part of a top secret government program called Beekeepers. Only now Clay is retired and helping a nice old lady out while he tends to his bees. When things go horribly wrong after the lady gets scammed out of all her money by an online phone "tech company " it sets the Beekeeper on a path of revenge. He's retired, so it's not the job... it's personal.
yeah it's about what you'd expect, honestly. For a Statham action movie and him being his bad ass self with pretty much the same personality as all his movies. But you know what you're getting with a Statham action film. It's not high art and it doesn't need to be... or Bee... it's a kick ass action movie and a fun ride all the way.
Easy 4 of 5 stars. If this is your sort of thing.
Mistake Status: I didn't really catch any my first watch. Wasn't looking close. Not sure I'll revisit this one or not. But could down the road.

More quotes from The Beekeeper
Question: If someone broke into her residence and started killing people, wouldn't the first thing the Secret Service do be to drag the president either to a safe room or out of the building? They didn't even enter the room until after her son had been killed.
Answer: That is a very good point, and something I didn't think of when watching it recently. You are right, the Secret Service would have immediately dragged her to a safe location or even to Marine 1 (the helicopter) to get her safe in the air. As we've even seen in recent history when President Trump was shot in the ear, instantly the Secret Service were on him and dragging him off to safety. This would be a logical mistake breaking what the Service usually would do, but then the climax of the movie couldn't happen if they did it. So it is also likely a deliberate mistake. Good catch.
