Does anyone know off-hand, how much pollen is in honey before extracting takes place, especially if it comes from white comb?  Do we know how much is typical of comb honey compared to extracted honey?

I seem to recall that much of the pollen in honey is incorporated in the process of uncapping and extracting.  If that is the case, then it would seem to me that some of the pollen is a natural part of honey, and some is not, anymore than the bits of frames, cocoons, bees legs, and other debris that can become mixed with honey in some mass extraction processes.
