Bees are also part of the local nature story: Les Ruches de Levallois includes 41 beehives on Île de la Jatte and in Parc Alsace, though the number may change. Levallois honey is a floral honey with distinctive notes of lavender and acacia. The annual harvest is sold at Levallois Découvertes; availability may vary.

Maison de la Pêche et de la Nature brings together different aspects of the Seine and its wildlife. Its 40 freshwater aquariums showcase fish species found in the Seine.
