Director Rama Rau (League of Exotique Dancers) makes her transition from documentary to narrative filmmaking with this drama about a teenage prostitute taken off the streets and sent into foster care. Honey Bee stars rising young actress Julia Sarah Stone (Wet Bum, Allure) as the titular protagonist, who has to make some major adjustments when she finds under the strict foster care of Louise, who is played by former child actress
Martha Plimpton (The Goonies). Even though she pines to return to her previous life with Ryan, Natalie soon comes to learn that her new living situation is probably a better one.

Since first gaining attention five years ago with the coming of age film Wet Bum, Julia Sarah Stone has become one the quickest rising stars in Canadian film, with her going on to star in increasingly challenging roles. Stone’s performance is arguably the highlight of Honey Bee, which does suffer from a few structural issues with the plot, with the conclusion of the film feeling a bit rushed. However, I would still say that Honey Bee is a pretty solid drama.
