Dut, they would starve at the croft, too high, a bonanza when the heather & bell heather are out but little othertimes, some thyme & blaeberry, bumble bees (Bombus Jonelus, I think) emerge late and vanish early. People do transport hives to the hills here for the heather, I have an auld buddy in Peebles does just that with his four hives. The UK cities are great for bees, no pesticides or herbicides and loads of forage. The Corporation here used to have an observation hive at Kelvingrove, must see if it's still there.

We had no pollinating bee here until the Europeans arrived.
Other insects , birds and the wind did the job.
I can't recall seeing any hives around any cities here . I 'spose there are , theres' no shortage of flowering vegetation in them .


P.S.
They certainly have them up home , maybe the people keep them in the back yard .

Scotland's native Black Bees, which have been here since the Ice Age,and can stand the cold, are under threat from hybridisation, plans to make island reserves for them, starting with Colonsay.
