A small bee paradise is being created on the lawn in front of the SUB Göttingen Central Library: in the newly created perennial bed there are over 400 drought-tolerant perennials on 50 square meters. The perennial plants, which will soon be in bloom, will serve as an additional source of food for wild bees and numerous other insect species. The SUB's sustainability working group initiated and coordinated the project.
