No i don't think he is a star Mike,i think he is a man who has studied hard to find out a lot of the facts. and i wish him every success with his exams.
Thank you for those kind words regards my exams, by the way I have had notification that I passed the BBKA Microscopy exam.
Whilst on the subject of exams I will be sitting Module 5 and 8 and that's me finished with the written modules.
As my Posting ID suggests I am crazy about any aspect of beekeeping and how to keep our bees as healthy as possible.
The reason I asked what book are you reading was you were not sure of how pollen is transfered from flower to pollen basket then into cells.
Surely the book you have by R.O.B. Manley gives details of the workings of the Honey Bee colony?
If there is a chapter on foraging or the requirements of the hive or collection of pollen?
If you can't find anything that informs you of the method of pollen collection then I'll write a brief resume.
