It is only the nurse bees which consume the bee bread. Worker bees eat honey. The nurse bee need the pollen or bee bread in order to produce the jelly which they feed to the young latvae. Thus at least for the first three weeks the bees from the package do not need any pollen. In this three weeks there is enough time for the worker bees to gather all the pollen they will need for the emerging larvae.
