Young queens when they emerge from hibernation will feed on flower nectar until they have started a nest and have larvae. At this time they will be pollinators.

Once there are larvae, the adult hornets feed on a form of honeydew from the larvae, so they no longer visit flowers.

Yes. Some pollen will be accidentally trapped in the fine hairs on her body and will pollinate the next flower visited.

Also, the bee will gather pollen and transfer it into 'pollen baskets' on her hind legs in order to take it back to the hive. You can sometimes see this when you see a bee with what appear to be yellow lumps on her legs.

Pollen is rich in protein and is mixed with a little honey to make a substance called bee bread. This is fed to the larvae.

Pollen is solid so can't be sipped but is eaten by young bees.

No, bees do not sip pollen. They employ their mouthparts to sip nectar. They transport pollen to the hive or nest because the particles catch on bristled body parts.
