Amos Ives Root was inspired to start a beekeeping business when a swarm of bees landed on the window of his Medina jewelry store. In 1869, Amos founded The A.I. Root Company where he manufactured a new beehive that, for the first time, made it possible for beekeepers to harvest their honey without harming the colony of bees. He began writing books and publishing magazines, which we continue to publish today and remain the primary sources of information to the beekeeping industry.
Root remains true to its past by focusing on what we know best – beeswax. Crafted with an all-natural beeswax blend, our candles are infused with essential oils for a long lasting, aromatic bouquet that is always true to nature.
