I see your point.  However we know from work done here that pollens with 
30% protein are most desirable to have good robust, long lived bees, 
providing the amino acid profile is OK.  So a substitute with the same 
would work the same.  The sugar and honey will be consumed as 
carbohydrate, the same as happens naturally with nectar or honey.
