Me & The Bees Lemonade, founded by young entrepreneur Mikaila, found its beginnings when Mikaila was just four years old. She was stung by a bee one day, and then two weeks later, was stung by another bee! Despite the pain of the bee stings, Mikaila took an interest in bees from that point on. She mixed that new interest and a business idea she was doing on the side, to make Me & the Bees Lemonade! She was already making and selling lemonade, and in adding honey to the mix, she had a new and innovative product! This is an example of a mashup. She took two things that usually might not go together in a traditional sense and combined them to make a new product out of two things that people already like. This is a very innovative process. Additionally, Mikaila used what she was interested in, honey bees and their effects on the environment, and added it to an existing idea, lemonade. When an entrepreneur is passionate about what they are producing, people can tell. Customers are interested in what producers are passionate about. She has also affiliated herself with the Healthy Hive Foundation, which is a nonprofit charity that aims to save bees. Mikaila has also written her own book, Bee Fearless, Dream Like a Kid. Mikaila is an extremely innovative entrepreneur. She did not just stick with her original idea about selling lemonade, but she pivoted and added honey into the mix, differentiating herself from the competition. Since then she has also built her personal brand greatly using social media, by writing her book, and by partnering with charities, all while continuing her education in high school. Mikalia is still very young, and it will be awesome to see hoe she continues to build herself and her cause up in the future.
