ECA Student’s Business is Buzzing
Most elementary students only dream of growing up, owning their own business, and helping their community. However, for Zuri Yu, her dream is already a reality. Zuri, also called Zizi, and her father, Sam Yu, are partners in Zizi’s Bee Company LLC. Sam developed an interest in bees a few years ago. He shared his passion with his daughter and Zizi’s Bee Company was born. The company’s logo was modeled after Zuri. The company harvests local honey from its hives located in Montgomery, Al. Zuri helps her father take care of the bees and even has her own bee keeper’s outfit. Her father is very cautious and Zuri has never been stung. ZiZi’s Bees also focuses on helping the community. Zizi’s Bees partners with Help a Brother Out Foundation which helps feed poverty stricken areas in Montgomery, Alabama. Zizi’s Bees encourages communities to turn vacant lots into honeybee colonies and beautiful pollinated gardens. The fruits and vegetables produced are given to the elderly and the community. Zizi’s Bee Company sells honey and honey related products and also specializes in bee removal services. Some of the products include various size jars of raw honey, snack sized honey straws, cinnamon creamed honey, and beeswax melts. You can find Zizi’s Bee products in Montgomery at Renfroes’s on Atlanta Highway, IKARE Pharmacy, and Food Outlet in Eastbrook.
