Once upon a time, a local beekeeper was operating his own publication. Though his publication, Gleanings In Bee Culture, was about beekeeping, it came to include the first written account of the Wright Brothers’ historic flight. This article was written and published by Amos Ives Root, a Medina resident and personal friend of Orville & Wilbur Wright… and a maverick in beekeeping and candle making. This awesome individual established what would become the best candle store near Cleveland… and perhaps in the world. Treat yourself to a trip to Root Candles — this local landmark is an attraction every Clevelander should experience in person.

Hiding in Medina, Ohio is an incredible candle factory and outlet store that produces the finest candles in the nation.

ImMikeRobertson/Google Images Medina, as you may know, is very fond of their honeybees. In addition to being their school mascot, bees are subject to an annual summertime festival right in the heart of town. This passion stems from Amos Ives Root, a local that helped modernize the beekeeping industry.

Today, their historic factory continues Amos Ives Root’s tradition by producing high-quality candles spearheaded by five generations of craftsmanship.
