Young entrepreneur turns backyard into sweet business

Posted: Updated:

(KYTX) - A young entrepreneur in San Antonio is causing quite the buzz. Forget paper routes or baby sitting, this kid is a beekeeper who has a sweet deal with a local vodka company.

11-year-old Bo Deweese turned his family interest -- and his backyard -- into a little business.

At the ripe old age of six, Bo made $1800 selling his honey. This eventually caught the eye of a Texas-made vodka company.

"That whole Bo and meeting Bo, and how that partnership came to be was so serendipitous," says Chad Auler, owner of Texas-based Sweet Leaf vodka. "And I think, you know, he was just completely dropped in our lap."

Bo says the whole partnership experience has left a sweet taste in his mouth -- and even sweeter goals.

He hopes to expand into his own business and become a millionaire one day.
