Synopsis

Amos Ives Root was inspired by a swarm of bees that landed on his window to begin his very first business - beekeeping. For over 150 years, the Root name has been synonymous with beekeeping, honey, pure beeswax, and the highest quality candles. Some refer to Root as "America's First Family of Beekeeping". Explore the birth of Modern Beekeeping from the perspective of Amos Ives Root. Beekeeping, Beekeepers, and a Profound Religious Conviction are all engaged. Highlights include: An Early Interest in Electricity and Chemistry: Before I was 17 I had written several articles for Scientific American and I decided to go off into the big wide world. Fraudulent Bee and Queen Breeders: The matter of the business methods on one such company occupied a large amount of space in our magazine, and finally, I announced that I would make good all losses to our readers. The Miracle of Buying Bricks: To build a factory I needed bricks, and to entertain angels, unaware. The Development of the Smoker: My first smoke was tobacco rolled up in a rag, and I blew the vile stuff right into the faces and eyes of beloved bees. The Birth of the ABC of Bee Culture: In May 1877, I announced that I would be going to the expense of having a book kept in type so that I could revise it every month. When I discovered a mistake or a new idea, I could update the book immediately. Associations with Famous People: Including Helen Keller, The Wright Brothers, Thomas Cowen, C.C. Miller, and the Reverend L.L. Langstroth Reflections on Growing Old: When people reach 60 or 65, gradual changes come over them. One such thing is becoming forgetful.
