PAm's Corporate Partner, A.I. Root Company has a Deep History with Honey Bees

A. I. Root Company Honey Blends candles are a lovely example of the good that companies can do for the world, and for honey bees.    ​
Picture
The A. I. Root Company has a fascinating story and a deep history with honey bees.  The founder, Amos Ives Root, became involved in candle-making through his interest in bee keeping. In the 19th century, he 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 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, A. I. Root Company is still actively involved in advancing the knowledge and science of bee keeping. ​

Costco-PAm PhD Scholar Sarah Wood Brings a New Perspective to Pesticide Risk Assessment

7/23/2018

"Pesticide risk assessment has not kept pace with new generations of crop protection products, but biologists, veterinarians, and farmers can all work together to understand the bigger picture...  with pesticides, ultimately the dose makes the poison.  If we can keep doses in a safe range, it’s ok for pesticides and beekeeping to co-exist.  We just need to manage the dose.”  - PhD Scholar Sarah Wood.  Wood's research is helping to pave the way for better understanding and better practices.
