Beekeeping on the Isle of Lewis

[Highlandhoney]

It may not be that bad. You need to do more research first though. Ask around. Checkout local beekeepers & be prepared to have very little in the way of harvested honey.
The size of your land has very little to do with beekeeping. You only need space for hives, the bees need the land and they don’t care who owns it! Do a beekeeping course or even a one day Introduction to beekeeping - get yourself armed with knowledge of what you are letting yourself in for, how to manage & look after honey bees before you plunge. Try the SBA and SCF for courses.

When I was in Lewis this summer I noticed beehives on the outskirts of Stornoway at the Laxdale end. They were in a sheltered meadow, surrounded by trees; not many places like that on Lewis!
