When Mikaila was just four, she was stung by a bee twice in a week and her parents suggested she channel her newfound fear of Bees into a research project, so Mikaila began reading about bees and was soon fascinated by them and started learning all about what they do for the eco system. Around the same time her Great Granny Helen, sent her family a 1940's cookbook, which included her special recipe for Flax-seed Lemonade. So she thought of making something that helps the bees and uses her Great Granny’s Recipe. That's how Me & the Bees Lemonade was born. It comes from her Great Granny Helen's flax-seed recipe and her new love for bees.
