Me and The Bees Lemonade was created after Mikaila learned about the importance of bees and their role in the ecosystem.
Mikaila wanted to create something that would support honeybees while using her great granny’s lemonade recipe. She decided to add honey from bees instead of just using sugar, and thus
“Be Sweet Lemonade”
Was born.
However, the brand had to change its name due to copyright issues and decided to call it
“Me & the Bees Lemonade”
Because they donate a percentage of sales to bee conservation efforts.
This lemonade brand started at a youth entrepreneurial event, with Mikaila selling lemonade at a stand in front of her home. The brand now donates a portion of its profits to local and international organizations dedicated to saving honeybees. That’s why the brand proudly declares:
“Buy a Bottle…Save a Bee.”
Since its humble beginnings in Austin, Texas, the brand has experienced remarkable growth of over 500 percent.
Today, Me & the Bees Lemonades, available in five refreshing flavors, can be found on the shelves of Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market, World Market, H-E-B stores across Texas, and Kroger stores in Houston.
This purpose-based brand aims to provide premium, all-natural lemonades while also contributing to bee conservation efforts.
