Hives on the building roof top contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about bees and beekeeping among the academic community and inhabitants of Lodz. Thanks to the Beebiloteka [Bee-library], it is also possible to raise awareness of the great importance of these insects for humans. More about the Beeblioteka UniLodz project.
