“Did You Know?”: Mikaila Ulmer
Did you know that MIKAILA ULMER was only 4 years old when she began making lemonade? Now, at age 10, she’s CEO of a thriving business, BeeSweet Lemonade. This is no run of the mill, stand on the sidewalk in the summertime with handmade signs and paper cups lemonade stand. No. Mikaila’s BeeSweet Lemonade is sold in a variety of restaurants local to the Austin, TX area, and in Whole Foods Markets throughout Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana.What began as a project, quickly turned into a passion; not only for lemonade, but bees. During the same time Mikaila was deciding to make lemonade, she was twice stung by bees. Those unpleasant encounters peeked her curiosity about bees, and now she’s on a mission to save them. Mikaila donates a percentage of her BeeSweet Lemonade profits to organizations whose mission is to save honeybees. She’s even adopted the slogan “Buy a Bottle…Save a Bee”.
In addition to her granny’s 1940’s Flaxseed Lemonade recipe and honey from bees, this young entrepreneur has three other ingredients that’s made her business such a success. “Courage, Passion, and Perseverance.”
