Meet Mikaila Ulmer, the young entrepreneur who turned her family lemonade recipe into a growing business while donating part of her profits to help save endangered bees

Mikaila Ulmer was four when two bee stings in 2009 led her parents to encourage her to learn about the insects she feared. That research introduced her to the importance of pollinators and inspired her to adapt her great-grandmothers 1940s lemonade recipe using local honey. The Austin lemonade stand eventually became Me & the Bees Lemonade, with a 2015 Shark Tank deal helping fuel its growth. Her story sits at the intersection of childhood curiosity, entrepreneurship and the increasingly complex challenge of protecting bees.
