Mikaila Ulmer is an 11 year old entrepreneur who started a business that supports the awareness of the disappearance of honeybees. She started a lemonade selling business that makes lemonade with honey from local honeybees. She obtained the recipe from her grandmother and started to produce this lemonade in 2009 and at the age of four! She became interested in honeybees after she was stung two times in the same week. She realized that honeybees were important to the ecosystem and thus started to donate a percentage of the profits from Me and the Bees Lemonade to different organizations who work to prevent the termination of honeybees. She started selling the lemonade at a local pizza shop and eventually began to sell it at a local Whole Foods store. Additionally she started workshops at the same store to educate people on the importance of honeybee awareness. This was a large factor that contributed to building her customer base because it served as a source of advertisement too. She soon appeared on Shark Tank which was a success that lead to her product being sold at all of the Whole Foods stores in the southeast region. I am certainly impressed with the extent of her compassion for supporting honeybees!
