It all started when Mikaila Ulmer in Austin, Texas got two bee stings in one week. She noticed that bees were dying and she knew that they were important to the world, so that's what got her thinking. Eleven year old Mikaila Ulmer started a lemonade business to give money to the bees. But the sweet and refreshing beverage wasn't just any normal lemonade. She used the recipe her great grandma gave her from a 1940’s cookbook. The recipe called it Me and the Bees Lemonade a combination of flax seed, mint, and sweetened with honey from local honeybees. Mikaila started at her local pizzeria, but then moved to her local Whole foods store, then to her high-end grocery store. Thanks to Mikaila, her product became so popular she soon moved to a famous TV show Shark Tank where she now sells her “queen bee” beverage all over the southeast in a store called Whole foods in USA.

Nice! I didn't know that Mikaila's great grandma's cookbook recipe was called "Me and the Bees Lemonade!" I'm also basing my blog on Mikaila, so it's good to know how she got the idea and extra details I missed. Would you buy her lemonade? I know I would!
ReplyDeleteCool! I love this idea. Yum! The lemonade sounds like it tasted delicious! My mom always uses flaxseed when making us smoothies after school! The next time I go to Whole Foods, I'm totally going to pick up some Me and the Bees lemonade! Have you ever tried the lemonade?
