Holland covers hundreds of bus stops with plants as gift to honeybees

The roofs of hundreds of bus stops have been covered in plants as a gift to honeybee, by a city in the Netherlands. Mainly made up of sedum plants, a total of 316 have been covered in greenery in Utrecht . The shelters not only support the city’s biodiversity , such as honey bees and bumblebees, but they also help capture fine dust and store rainwater. The roofs are looked after by workers who drive around in electric vehicles, and the bus stops have all been fitted with energy-efficient LED lights and bamboo benches. They are just one of a number of measures Utrecht has introduced in a bid to improve air quality. Created with Sketch. Utrecht’s gift to the honeybee: Green bus stops Show all 5 Created with Sketch.
