The conservatory stands beside Belleisle's walled garden. It holds more than 50 species from around the world, including tropical plants, alpines and cacti.

Its observation hive shows a whole colony of bees at work: gathering food and water, cleaning, keeping warm and raising young. Volunteers restored the building and run it, with Sunday afternoon concerts and bee-keeping events.
