Still don't know who the HoB are exactly, but I think "Serenity" (the movie, not the pilot) sheds some light on Blue Sun.
I'm assuming that Blue Sun is responsible, in part, for what happened on Miranda. They're the folks who brought in the drugs.
My guess is that, had the show continued, we'd've continued to see River striking out at Blue Sun objects, which contain subliminal messages NOT nanites.
As an interesting sideline, note how similar some of River's rants are to the way Book ultimately describes the Operative.
Is it safe to assume that the Fruity Oaty Bar is manufactured by Blue Sun?

Here's a thought:
Not nanites, but rather another attempt at getting the Pax (or some new variant on it) into the bodies of the masses. We all seem to generally agree that Blue Sun is the giant corporation that makes pretty much everything from food to medicine to technology. Perhaps they were considering another run at what was tried on Miranda.
But that's just my opinion.

Do they even have nanites in the Firefly 'verse? They probably have nanotechnology, we have nanotechnology, but nanites seem a bit too advanced. As for the HoB, I don't think they're telepaths, they've never displayed any telepathic or psychic abilities although it is possible that they are shielded from telepathic or psychic abilities.

I was really expecting to get more information about Blue Sun and the HoB in the movie, but that just leaves more to the sequels, right?!?! *praying so hard that the franchise option gets picked up!*
