Biography
Samuel "Sammy" Medek is one of the greatest beekeepers in Texas. He has many fond memories of working with his bees, and a few not-so-fond memories. Once, while he was away, a thief stole all his bees' honey. He came back while his bees were away and stared at the overturned hives. When the bees came back, they stung Sammy, angering him.

Despite this, Sammy and the bees have made up and now get along just as well as before. Sammy is a doting father to his teenage son Colby. Colby goes to Ever After and is studying to be the next beekeeper.

While Sammy is a beekeeper, he likes to get involved in as many activities as he can. He has taken plenty of dance classes and has started a dance class with his friends. He is also good at cooking, although his tendency to make unusual recipes can be rather vexing. But above all, he loves providing honey for recipes for the spring festivals.

Family
Sammy is the youngest of three children. He has an older sister named Monica and an older brother named George. His parents' names are George and Flora. George was the previous beekeeper. Sammy is close with both of his parents, especially his mother.
