August Boatwright - Queen Latifah

August Boatwright is a loving matriarch who nurtures both her younger sisters and the two lost souls who come to her house in need of love/

Lily is immediately taken under the wing of August as her new beekeeping apprentice. There she is given a comfortable place to explore and, for the first time in her life, just be.

Surrounded by the unexpected comforts, grace and deep rooted spirituality Lily (Fanning) encounters in the Boatwright home, she forms a maternal bond with each of these women whose unique and special gifts help reconcile the loss of her mother.

May Boatwright - Sophie Okonedo and June Boatwright - Alicia Keys

May's heart has been broken since her twin sister’s death years earlier. Her pain runs so deep, her sisters dedicated a prayer wall in the woods to their late sister, much like the ‘Wailing Wall’ in Jerusalem.

In contrast to her childlike sister June is a fiercely independent music teacher, who teaches Cello, and never lowers her shield of pride for anyone, even for the man who adores her.

The Secret life of Bees is released 5th December
