>> No one doubts that without protein, bees can't raise brood. That isn't
what this is about. It is about the effect on the adults.
To bee more exact, I think the original topic was the insertion of protein material into the sugar syrup being fed to the bees to supplement their winter stores. There was concern that this might build up waste material in the bees' guts which they could not get rid of if they did not have periodic cleansing flights.
