Cost of analysis is definitely an understandable explanation.  

Analyzing different types of pollen is like my animal nutritionist giving me different feed values for different feed products.  Each pollen pretty much represents a different feed type when looking at the nutrition variability between each floral type.     

Thanks to Randy Oliver for suggesting a different apporach; reworking deGroot’s work using Histidine as the limiting instead of Tryptophan as Histidine is one of the eAA that showed the less variability.  

I have been able to work through some pollen analysis charts to find their value towards the bees diet.  
Dandelion expresses an extremely unbalanced profile along with buckwheat and sunflowers.  Canola is gold!

Thanks for the input!
