Me & the Bees is creating a buzz. Mikaila Ulmer turned her great-grandma’s lemonade recipe into an $11M Whole Foods deal. From which part of the profits go to honeybee causes.
Honey lemonade is sweet, but sweeter still is the story: Mikaila is just 13 years old and started the business at the age of four.

The lemonade’s winning ingredient may well be the honey, but it’s also business acumen. At the age of four, while most kids bring their teddy bears to show and tell, Mikaila had a lemonade stand at a children’s business fair.
Lemonade stands are an almost mythical entrepreneurial platform for children. And yet here is this young lady from Texas creating a very real business from her sidewalk venture.
The delightfully articulate Mikaila appeared on Shark Tank and talked to NBCabout how she got (literally) stung when she was starting out. Methinks with her business savvy, and no-doubt presence of behind-the-scenes advisors, this social entrepreneur won't get stung in business too often.
Wishing you a sweet week,
Peter
