I have been growing runner beans for the first time. The first red
flowers that
came out have wilted after a few days. Is this normal? I
have been using feed
once a week. Any advice on any of this?

This should not be necessary and may be harmful if you over-do it.  On soil
with good nutrient holding power (high clay and organic matter) once or
twice a year, on soil that has poor holding power (very sandy) maybe once a
month.
