This is the historical "go to" Bee Keeping Book. Amos Ives Root was an Ohio entrepreneur who developed innovative techniques for beekeeping during the late 19th century, when the practice played an important role in the economy of many communities in the U.S. He founded his own company, which continues in business to the present day. He began working as a jewelry manufacturer and took up beekeeping in his 20s as a hobby. Among his major contributions was a method to harvest honey without destroying the beehive. He became a nationally and internationally known expert and a wealthy businessman. Root founded his company in 1869 in his hometown of Medina, to manufacture beehives and beekeeping equipment. At the peak of its business, the company was shipping four railroad freight cars of beekeeping equipment a day.
