In the last few years a variety of lithium and beryllium surveys have been carried out among Pop. I stars in the field and open clusters, with the goal to trace the dependence of these element abundances on stellar mass, age, metallicity, and to understand the physical processes that lead to their depletion. I summarize here the most recent results, focusing on stars with temperatures similar to the Sun. In particular, I will discuss Li measurements in solar-type members of old open clusters, which definitively show that the low solar lithium is not the standard for a star of that age and mass.
