For the Love of Bees

When we looked into the origins of these delicious candles, our search took us back to 1869, when Amos Ives Root, founder of Root Candles, became involved in candle-making through his interest in bee keeping. Amos was behind many advances in bee keeping, leading the movement to standardizing beekeeping equipment. His Airline Honey was known nationally as the finest honey on the market.

He wrote a popular book on bees -- The ABCs of Bee Culture -- and he founded a magazine for bee keepers named Gleanings In Bee Culture. Little wonder A.I. Root was known as "the bee man" in fifteen languages the world over. Today, Root is still actively involved in advancing the knowledge and science of bee keeping.

#SaveTheHoneybees

“We rely on honey bees and their keepers to provide a long lasting resource for home and hearth, and we are dedicated to helping Project Apis m. solve these issues and save our bees, our beekeepers and our way of life”

~ Brad Root, President of the Root Company

Proceeds from the sale of all Honey Blends candles benefit Project Apis m. Project Apis m.'s mission is to fund and direct research to enhance the health and vitality of bee colonies. If you are concerned about the health of the bees, and want to be a part of the groundswell of change that is revolutionizing sustainable agriculture, this is a small, easy way to be a part of a big movement! Our community is particularly savvy and well-intentioned, so Root candles were a natural choice for us.
