To my knowledge, the best paper on this topic is:

Roulston, T. and J. Cane. 2000. Pollen nutritional content and digestibility for animals. Plant Systematics and Evolution 222:187-209. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00984102

I'm afraid a firm answer to your question will prove elusive, though.
