Penny Roy is proud to be a beekeeper. As an elementary science teacher for 25 years, she found her way into beekeeping when a parent offered her several hives during a field day. However, when she started out, she didn’t know much about bees. Looking for help, she turned to Alabama Extension, where she met Urban Regional Extension Agent Allyson Shabel. Now retired from teaching, Roy is still turning to Extension expertise nine years later for help maintaining her apiary.
