    I have seen the truncated vein at point 3 a few times and the stubby vein at point 18 a few times also but not the vein coming from point 0

    Anyone who understands this thread is a certifiable freak.

    Wow! "Wraith's progress" is stratospheric! The next job for him is to purchase Beowulf's wonderful book. He can read mine over breakfast.

    You know it makes sense Wraith! If you read beekeeping forum at the moment most of the posts seem to be about feeding and artificial swarming. To me this suggests that a lot of people are keeping bees which are unable to react to current cool and wet foraging conditions. Or maybe the build up has been too quick for the conditions. Feeding bees in May then trying to carry out an artificial swarm in between showers sounds like a strange form of beekeeping to me.

    Having just been to see my bees I have had to carry out an artifical swarm on the one big hive How dare they think they haven't enough room they are on double brood and the top is 14 x12 as they're going bigger, So made up a nuc out of the 1 best queen cell, and put my supers on both hives now as they are collecting nectar like mad again.

    Heres a pic
