I'll attempt to steer this discussion back to bees.

This spring, due to incessant rain, coupled with foraging breaks that
happened to occur during either pollen or nectar dearths, it was clearly
evident just how important a balance between protein (pollen) and sugar
(nectar) income was to my colonies.  Nectar without accompanying pollen
didn't do the trick.  Somewhat surprisingly, abundant pollen without
accompanying nectar didn't do it either.
