French term or phrase: entrée de pollen
"Des données prises à toutes les semaines sur le gain de poids hebdomadaire, le taux d’utilisation de ces ressources supplémentaires par rapport aux températures, les entrées de pollen et le développement de la ruche seront parmi les données utilisées pour le développement des protocoles de gestion."

Is there something better than "pollen entries"?

pollen intake
Explanation:
To address this problem, we examined interactions between individual foraging behavior and pollen storage levels in the honey bee, Apis mellifera L. Colonies responded to low pollen storage conditions by increasing POLLEN INTAKE rates 54% relative to high pollen storage conditions, demonstrating a direct relationship between pollen storage levels and foraging effort.

Brood pheromone has been shown to release most of the mechanisms known to increase POLLEN INTAKE by colonies acting as an important regulator of colony foraging decisions and growth.

A. The estimation of POLLEN INTAKE
Pollen samples are generally collected by means of pollen traps, which also provide
quantitative estimates of the POLLEN INTAKE of a colony.

disagree  Tony M: Yes, but here they are clearly talking about data being collected, rather than a physical feature of the hive. / Happens to all of us, Liz! ;-)
