[Bonus] Short - Remembering A.I. Root in Medina, Ohio

In this special Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Jeff and Dr. Jim Tew, from Honey Bee Obscura podcast, take listeners on a reflective visit to the A.I. Root family gravesite in Medina, Ohio — the resting place of Amos Ives Root, the man whose name and innovations helped shape modern beekeeping.

Standing among the generations of the Root family, Jeff and Jim discuss the far-reaching influence of A.I. Root, from his first fascination with a swarm on the Medina town square to his pioneering work in beekeeping equipment, candle making, and publishing Gleanings in Bee Culture.

Jim reflects on the significance of visiting this site after nearly five decades in beekeeping, while Jeff recounts his early trips to the Root factory seconds store and the fine craftsmanship of Root's woodenware. Together, they explore how the Root legacy continues to touch every corner of American beekeeping.

It's a quiet, meaningful walk through history — and a tribute to a man whose curiosity and craftsmanship helped inspire a global beekeeping community.
