No  Beebread is AFAIK, mostly pollen, preserved with some sugars.

Young bees eat pollen.   Pollen is essential for brood rearing.  Adult bees 
can survive for extended periods without pollen, if not raising brood.

I'm not big on the references, but I'll bet that Peter can cite you till the 
cows come home and your eyes glaze over.

Beebread is preserved pollen.  It has an energy component, but is most 
precious for brood rearing.
