Bee-Friendly Bus Stops Appearing In UK Dominic Smithers Bee-friendly bus stops are starting to crop up in the UK. Leicester City Council has announced a 10-year scheme to improve the region's shelters, creating eco-friendly alternatives that will boost the area's biodiversity. Around 12 of the green shelters have been set up in the city, including spots on Charles Street, London Road and Melton Road. Each of the 'living roofs' has been planted with a mix of wildflowers and Sedum plants, which it's said will help improve biodiversity in the area, giving a boost to the local bee population as well as adding a bit more colour to the city.
