I think if you were to check now there are MRL's in place
for some bee products and I think pollen is one.

Right now, from my sources with those we deal with, there
is an MRL for honey that will go into effect in Japan at
the end of May 2006 at 300 ppb.  

If bee pollen and propolis can't successfully hitchhike
onto the honey MRL, and paperwork filing has to be done
with the Japanese ministry to initiate the process, it will
be the first step in a process that will take at least 2
years from my understanding.
