Mikaila Ulmer began her business just like any other kid, a simple lemonade stand. She used a recipe from her great grandmother that used honey as a sweetener instead of straight sugar. Mikaila was fascinated by bees and how they provide for the environment. She has always donated a portion of her proceeds to organizations that fight to save the bees. 
She also has created a nonprofit named the Healthy Hive Foundation. Their mission is to “save all bees through education, research, and protection, and to inspire social entrepreneurship.” She found her passion, to save the bees and combined it with her love of selling lemonade.
Me & the Bees has 5 flavors of lemonade that are sold in 40 states and more than 1500 stores.
It is inspiring how Mikaila started from a simple lemonade stand, and grew it into a national business. She has a purpose, to save the bees, and is passionate about it.
Nice post! It is truly amazing how one person can start to create impact with something as small as lemonade. Keeping the bee population at a healthy level is of huge importance to the world we live in, and seeing people work on it to create change is inspiring. I may purchase this bee lemonade in the future, it seems to be quite interesting. I find it impressive she was able to help save bees while also creating an impressive business!
