May not be a question of how they "view" it, but rather a question of
whether they possess an innate behavior to move protein food.

I've seen no evidence that they move pollen once it is packed into a cell,
other than either consuming or removing it for disposal.  On the other
hand, I regularly see then rearrange honey stores in fall.
