I think it would end up in both outputs.  It would depend upon the density of the grains of pollen.  That pollen that is denser than honey would tend to be at the "bottom" of the extracted honey and the pollen less dense than honey would tend to be at the "top" of the honey along with the wax and other debris.   That is the way a centrifuge works.
