Amos Ives Root (1839 - 1923) founded the A.I. Root Company.
1869
His name became synonymous with beekeeping, honey, pure beeswax, and the highest quality candles.
A.I. Root manufactured beekeeping equipment, that for the first time allowed the honey to be harvested without damaging the colony.
Our all natural beeswax blend produces a more superior, cleaner burning candle than any other on the market.
1970
Root started adding color and fragrance to their candles in response to the Woodstock Generation. Each Root Candle continues to be handcrafted to ensure the highest quality finish.
During the peak of our beekeeping supplies business, we shipped four freight train car loads of beekeeping equipment per day!
Root Candles introduced the method of rolling the wax to prevent the candle from bending during the warmer summer months.
TODAY
Now led by the family’s fifth generation, the Root family continues to extol the virtues of honesty, integrity, and diligent craftsmanship, all qualities exemplified by founding father and American original, Amos Ives Root.
CELEBRATING OUR RICH HERITAGE
It all started with a swarm of bees...

1879
A.I. Root published The ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture. Currently in it’s 41st edition, it is often referred to as “The Beekeeper’s Bible.”
In the late 1800s and early 1900s A.I. drove an electric car powered by a windmill on the top of his garage.
1891
A.I. Root became a life long friend of Helen Keller when in 1891 he received a letter of thanks for his kindness and contribution towards the education of blind and deaf children.
A.I. witnessed Orville and Wilbur Wright’s first flight and wrote about it in his magazine. His article is the first recorded flight of the Wright Brothers and is currently on display in the Smithsonian.
Root began manufacturing its own custom cotton wicks to ensure each candle burns flawlessly.
1928
