Do bees have interest in wind-pollinated plants as a pollen source
I know that most grains and some other plants are wind pollinated and because they are wind pollinated they need to create lots of pollen for this purpose. Do bees show any interest in gathering this type of pollen as a food source even though these plants don't provide any nectar?

this would be along the lines of plants like Amaranth, corn, pine trees, etc

Yes they do - depending on the plant!

what are ones they are interested in vs ones that they are not?

Bees work what provides the most nutrition of the available choices and that varies from year to year and from month to month.
