Normandy Oaks

Two hives with thousands of honey bees are in Royal Oak’s 40-acre park at Normandy Oaks. Each hive at the height of summer has about 60,000 bees, so Royal Oak will see up to 120,000 honey bees taking up residence in the Oaks Savannah nature area of the Normandy Oaks park.

The two hives at Normandy Oaks are a memorial to Stephanie Comptois, former chair of the parks and recreation board, who passed away in April 2020, said Sarah Kindinger, current chair of the group.

“We’re doing this in her honor,” Kindinger said. “We think this is a great opportunity to open education to kids in the park and a unique way we can use our green space in Royal Oak.”
