I will rephrase the statement slightly,-   After all pollen is the source of
almost
all the beehives nutrition.

The bees can use their body reserves if there is no pollen coming in,
subsisting on honey.  But before they can effectively work again they must
rebuild those reserves.

Royal jelly of course is produced in the hive, from food gathered from
outside the hive.
