man

entered
into the
jewelry
making
business
and
opened
a
shop
in
Medina
. He
became
interested
in
beekeeping
on
day
when
he
saw
a
swarm
of
bees
so
large
that they
covered
the
window
of his
shop
,
dimming
the
light
. In
1869
he
began
manufacturing
a
beehive
in
which
beekeepers
could
extract
the
honey
without
killing
the
bees
. In
1878
he
purchased
the
Medina
County
Fairgrounds
and
built
the

Root
Company

A.I
.
Root
Company
began
manufacturing
beeswax
candles
in the
1920s
and
continued
after
Root's
death
in
1923
.
