Is pecan pollen good for bees?

[Dallasbeek]

My two pecan trees are coating everything with a layer of pollen.  The floor of my gazebo is yellow.  If I sweep it up and place it in a bowl near the birdbath the bees use as a water source, would they be likely to take it to the hives and would it be a particularly good source of protein for the bees?

No, Pecan is wind pollinated like Oak trees the pollen in low in protein and of low value to the bees.
