At four years old Mikaila was stung by bee and then a week later she was stung again. These two little bees changed her life. They helped her to create her business Me and Bees Lemonade. After her painful encounter she natural became afraid of them. But she was a curious girl and decided to research them. She grew fascinated by them and all the wonderful things they do for the environment. Her
family encourage her to enter a children’s business competition called Acton Children’s Business Fair and Austin Lemonade Day. Around the same time she inherited a 1940s cookbook from her grandmother which had a special flaxseed lemonade. An idea struck her. She would use the lemonade recipe to help honeybees. She combined the recipe and the honey from bees to create her sweet concoction. Me and The Bees Lemonade gives a percentage of its profits to help save honeybees. She started her business by selling lemonade from a stand in her yard. She donated the profits to the local and international organizations. So far the business has been around for over 10 years and continues to grow. It has grown more than 500 percent since it started. Today it has five flavors, is sold in many stores, and is also served in restaurants. Mikaila travels around the country to tell her story and to tell others how to save bees. She also works with some nonprofits. Mikaila also has many social media accounts where people can follow her work. She released her first book in August 2020, which is about her story and of course, how to save bees.

This is a really cool product that involves a different recipe for lemonade. I actually saw this product on shark tank and though it was an amzing idea with a great pitch. It is also truly azmaing that Mikaila had this idea at such a young age and for being an inspiration for so many young entrepuners.
