Mikaila Ulmer started Me and the Bee’s Lemonade at the very young age of five. Her story is very unique because at her young age she took something that was unknown to her, learned about it, and then created something out of it. She was stung by two bees in a week and was very afraid of them, but then she decided to research them and during her research she became fascinated with bees and realized they do a lot of good for the ecosystem and they didn’t need to be scary. She then was encouraged to enter into a children’s business fair where she had to create her own business so she took her new profound knowledge of bees and mixed it with her grandmothers special flaxseed lemonade recipe from the 1940’s to create her lemonade that is made with bee’s honey. She donates some of her profits to organizations dedicated to saving honeybees. Mikaila is a true entrepreneur because she took her literal pain and turned it into something amazing. She incorporated a specific mission and is determined to turn negative perceptions about bees around like she experienced. She is an inspiration because she didn’t let something she was afraid of beat her down, and instead did the complete opposite. I learned that really there is no age put on an entrepreneur and if she was five years old, anyone can be an entrepreneur.
