We are now celebrating more than 10 years in “buzzness!” That's how Be Sweet Lemonade was born! However, we had to change the name due to a copyright issue so we decided to call it Me & the Bees Lemonade because we give a percentage of sales to help save the bees.

I decided to give her beloved lemonade a new twist by adding honey from bees, instead of only sugar. While I was thinking, my Great Granny Helen, who lived in Cameron, South Carolina, sent my family a 1940s cookbook, which included her special recipe for flaxseed lemonade. But then after doing some research about them, I became fascinated and learned all about what they do for me and our ecosystem.Īround that same time, my family encouraged me to make a product for a couple of children's business competitions - the Acton Children’s Business Fair and Austin Lemonade Day.
