Dandelion pollen is of poor nutritional quality for honey bees?

It would appear from the bits I can access that pollen from dandelions are overrated as a source of protein for for honey bees. Dandelions appear to be missing some of the amino acids needed to manufacture protein. Some of this research seems to indicate that honey bees fed dandelion pollen alone have low success at raising brood or fail to raise any at all when fed pollen from dandelions alone.
